[CoinMarketCap](https://coinmarketcap.com/community/articles/6ad3dbf54061384453c8cf86/) published the announcement. Flowdesk will supply liquidity for assets moving through Shield Swap, giving professional traders access to popular trading pairs without exposing their full trading activity to public observers.\n\n## How the Flowdesk Liquidity Arrangement Works\n\nShield Swap's announcement says the collaboration connects its confidential trading platform with Flowdesk, a global liquidity provider and digital asset trading and technology firm. Flowdesk combines financial and crypto expertise with algorithmic and proprietary trading systems. The announcement describes its network as connected across more than 150 centralized and decentralized markets, providing over-the-counter trading and liquidity services to institutional investors, token issuers, and exchanges.\n\nWithin the collaboration, Flowdesk manages liquidity pools while positions shielded inside Shield Swap remain confidential, the companies said. Shield Swap says participants can execute trades without publishing their identity, holdings, and strategy to the market. Participant identities stay off the public ledger, while portfolio balances remain encrypted to each participant's keys.\n\nThe platform's stated protections prevent public observers from viewing a participant's full activity. According to the announcement, subsequent holdings remain confidential once positions are shielded within the platform. Every trade creates an encrypted compliance record that can be reviewed when access is legally compelled, the announcement states.\n\nFlowdesk Europe received Payment Institution authorization from France's ACPR under PSD2 on October 13, 2026, enabling custody and transfer of e-money tokens, Fxnewsgroup reported. Flowdesk will act as a market maker on Uniswap to ensure liquidity for Societe Generale-FORGE's EURCV and USDCV stablecoins, according to a September 8, 2026 LinkedIn post. The stablecoins are deployed on Morpho and Uniswap, with MEV Capital as curator.\n\n## Early Access and Jurisdiction Rules\n\nEarly access is open to institutional and professional investors through the platform's website, shield.fi, subject to applicable eligibility requirements. Shield Swap describes itself as a technology provider, not a broker, dealer, or registered intermediary. It does not provide investment, legal, tax, or other advice. Participants trade on their own account and remain responsible for their decisions and compliance with applicable law.\n\nThe accompanying legal notice states that \"Flowdesk\" refers collectively to the Flowdesk group and may include affiliated or related entities. The entity providing a service, and the services available, may vary according to a participant's location, the nature of the service, and local legal and regulatory requirements. References to the group do not imply that every Flowdesk entity is authorized to provide every service in all jurisdictions.\n","publisher":{"name":"News for Agent","url":"https://newsforagent.com"}}
