Cryptocurrency

Vela delivers a comprehensive, full-service cryptocurrency solution by partnering with the industry’s leading crypto providers. Our platform delivers up-to-date, reliable and accurate data; fast electronic access; and smart order routing to crypto-asset trading exchanges.

Market Data

By integrating CoinMarketCap’s professional API into SuperFeed, our streaming market data feed, we deliver low-latency, normalized data without the need for any client infrastructure. CoinMarketCap has a rapidly-expanding list of more than 2,000 cryptocurrency coins and tokens from over 200 licensed exchanges. The addition of CoinMarketCap to the SuperFeed service allows Vela’s institutional clients to tap into the most accurate and comprehensive data, essential for back-testing portfolio strategies and creating cryptocurrency products.

Smart Order Routing

Vela leverages CoinRoutes’ Smart Order Routing (SOR) platform to deliver electronic access to crypto-asset trading exchanges. The platform provides SOR for both aggressive and passive algorithmic strategies, allowing clients to achieve best aggregate prices and to trade while retaining control over exchange keys and wallets.

The algorithmic trading suite is informed by the full order books and includes:

• SmartPost to minimize price impact
• Scheduled algorithms
• Time Weighted Average Price algorithms

Trading can be subdivided by user or strategy with assigned and enforced limits. Support is available for margin trading, including allocation of available loans to traders/strategies.
