The experience of the team, combined with innovative and reliable technology, established Wintermute as a preferred partner to institutional investors.

The company also works with some of the leading cryptocurrency exchanges on the market, including the Blockchain.com exchange, Binance, Kraken, and Coinbase.

Evgeny Gaevoy, the CEO of Wintermute Trading, said that the company was excited to be working with such a wide variety of clients. The growing roster of its clients will enable it to create a robust market for all traders and market participants.
