Wyden, a provider of institutional digital asset trading technology, has integrated the African cryptocurrency exchange VALR into its global network of liquidity connectors, according to an announcement shared with Finbold on March 12.
The integration allows Wyden’s institutional clients to access VALR’s liquidity pools directly through the Wyden trading platform.
VALR, which the company describes as the largest crypto exchange in Africa by trading volume, offers more than 100 digital assets, including tokenized stocks, private credit instruments, and crypto bundles.
