1inch empowers Talos’ institutional clients with DeFi liquidity access

The 1inch Swap API facilitates comprehensive access to decentralized liquidity for Talos’ institutional clients.

Talos have integrated the 1inch Swap API with their institutional portfolio and trading technology for digital assets, substantially enhancing access to decentralized liquidity for their clients.

Talos clients can now use 1inch software to seamlessly interact with deeper liquidity in the DeFi ecosystem, enjoying enhanced efficiency. 

What is Talos?

Talos provides institutional-grade technology that supports the full digital asset investment lifecycle, including liquidity sourcing, price discovery, trading, settlement and portfolio management. 

Engineered by a team with unmatched experience building institutional trading and portfolio systems, the Talos platform connects institutions to key providers in the digital asset ecosystem – exchanges, OTC desks, prime brokers, lenders, custodians and more – through a single interface.

Talos’s trading platform also provides clients with advanced time-based algorithmic strategies, including the TWAP (Time-Weighted Average Price) algorithm, enabling seamless transactions across both centralized and decentralized venues. 

What are the main benefits of the integration for Talos clients?

Improved access to liquidity

Institutions typically make large trades. This means it helps them to access as much liquidity as possible in order to achieve best execution – for themselves and their end customer. Given the liquidity increasingly available in DeFi, institutions are losing out if they exclude it.

Access to tokens

Some institutional trading strategies rely on less liquid or emerging tokens, often before they are available on centralized exchanges. DeFi gives them access to a much broader range of such tokens.

Overall, institutional use cases for digital assets cover a broad range. Some institutional customers are interested in trading to speculate for profit, while others are interested in crypto as another means to diversify their portfolios. Miners, VCs and other token holders need access to CEXes/DEXes for the purposes of liquidation. VCs might be holding fewer liquid tokens issued by emerging projects and stand to benefit from the liquidity available in DeFi.
