## How the Caladan Liquidity Feeds Spotex

[Caladan](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0002dgl/caladan) provides liquidity across more than 110 spot, swap and CFD markets, supported by automated digital asset settlement, 24/5 fiat settlement, streamlined onboarding and post-trade workflows. Its infrastructure supports million-dollar trade sizes across major markets, according to the announcement. The integration is intended to give institutional market participants additional sources of digital asset pricing and execution through [Spotex](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/000r4f7/spotex)'s trading venue.

Spotex was founded in 2010 and built its business around institutional electronic trading in foreign exchange before expanding its infrastructure into digital assets. The venue offers low-latency execution and market analytics to its clients.

"Institutional participation in digital assets increasingly depends on bringing together deep crypto-native liquidity with the execution standards and infrastructure that firms already expect from traditional markets," said Julia Zhou, President and Co-Founder of Caladan. "By providing liquidity through Spotex, we can make Caladan's pricing and execution capabilities accessible to a broader base of institutional counterparties."

John Miesner, CEO of Spotex, said the depth of liquidity available to clients is critical as the venue expands its digital asset marketplace. Joe Tuccio, Head of Digital Assets at Spotex, said adding Caladan to the Spotex network deepens its global liquidity offering.

Caladan's Cayman Islands entity, CLDN Cayman Ltd, was registered with the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority under the Securities Investment Business Act, effective October 7, 2026, PR Newswire reported.

## Spotex's Earlier Crypto Integrations

Spotex launched an integrated Spotex-Elysium MatchHub front-to-back digital asset trading workflow in January 2026, combining its execution layer with Elysium's post-trade reconciliation and multi-party settlement, with a live deployment at a major cryptocurrency broker, according to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data). The same records show a November 2023 partnership with CryptoFi to provide institutional crypto liquidity, trade execution and price discovery to regional banks and credit unions through CryptoFi's crypto-as-a-service platform.
