Gold-i has joined forces with Hidden Road for enhanced crypto liquidity aggregation.
The integration gives rise to a platform capable of real-time settlement and efficient trade execution.
Tom Higgins, CEO and founder, Gold-i
Gold-i has
successfully integrated its Crypto Switch with Hidden Road, a credit network
for global institutions. This strategic partnership allows both companies to
exploit Hidden Road's real-time API functionality, facilitating a robust crypto
liquidity aggregation. This integration brings a wave of change in trade
settlements by permitting the instant drop copying of every trade.
Gold-i Strengthens the
Crypto Trading Ecosystem
Crypto
Switch by Gold-i provides a tested institutional solution for utilizing and
distributing crypto liquidity. Integrated with numerous crypto market makers
and exchanges, it ensures tight spreads, low latency and deep liquidity.
Integrating
Gold-i's Crypto Switch to Hidden Road's API ensures the delivery of fast and
reliable crypto liquidity aggregation. Furthermore, this integration introduces
an innovative real-time trade settlement process, transforming conventional
methods.
Tom Higgins, the Founder & CEO of Gold-i
Tom
Higgins, the Founder & CEO of Gold-i, holds Hidden Road in high regard, citing
its instrumental role across traditional and digital assets. Higgins also
highlighted how Hidden Road has developed an effective ecosystem in the crypto
world. By offering segregated functions like prime brokerage, clearing, and
financing, the firm aids counterparties in risk mitigation.
"We
are delighted to have integrated our Crypto SwitchTM with Hidden Road's API,"
Higgins commented. "Institutional digital asset adoption continues to grow
and Hidden Road has a compelling offering, with impressive connectivity and a
formidable pool of OTC Market Makers providing deep liquidity."
Michael Higgins, the Global Head of Business Development at Hidden Road
Echoing
this sentiment, Michael Higgins, the Global Head of Business Development at Hidden
Road (unrelated to Tom Higgins), expressed the firm's continual focus on
providing robust tools across traditional and digital asset classes.
"Gold-i's
Crypto Switch™ is a great fit with our credit network and OTC prime brokerage
offering and further evidence of our partner-first philosophy," Higgins
added.
Since then,
the solution has benefited many contracts for difference (CFDs) brokers and
financial firms. Among them were companies such as B2C2 and Blockfills. In
2022, Tom Higgins' firm collaborated with Binance to improve liquidity. Currently,
the platform offers market liquidity from nearly 20 cryptocurrency service
providers.
During an
exclusive interview last year, Finance Magnates spoke with Higgins,
summarizing 30 years of his activity in the market. As he admitted, the FX/CFD
industry has significantly changed, and there is an increasing emphasis on the
cryptocurrency offering.
"Crypto
Switch™ is Gold-i's platform for financial institutions wishing to access deep
and diverse crypto liquidity with a fully cleared solution. We launched the
first iteration of this product in 2017 and have invested in and evolved it
ever since. It's a very different product now from when we first launched
it," Higgins commented.
Higgins summarized
that Gold-i would continue to develop in the direction of the institutional
crypto liquidity business.

Executive Interview | Dor Eligula | Co-Founder & Chief Business Officer, BridgeWise | FMLS:25
Executive Interview | Dor Eligula | Co-Founder & Chief Business Officer, BridgeWise | FMLS:25
In this session, Jonathan Fine form Ultimate Group speaks with Dor Eligula from Bridgewise, a fast-growing AI-powered research and analytics firm supporting brokers and exchanges worldwide.
We start with Dor’s reaction to the Summit and then move to broker growth and the quick wins brokers often overlook. Dor shares where he sees “blue ocean” growth across Asian markets and how local client behaviour shapes demand.
We also discuss the rollout of AI across investment research. Dor gives real examples of how automation and human judgment meet at Bridgewise — including moments when analysts corrected AI output, and times when AI prevented an error.
We close with a practical question: how retail investors can actually use AI without falling into common traps.

Brendan Callan joined us fresh off the Summit’s most anticipated debate: “Is Prop Trading Good for the Industry?” Brendan argued against the motion — and the audience voted him the winner.
In this interview, Brendan explains the reasoning behind his position. He walks through the message he believes many firms avoid: that the current prop trading model is too dependent on fees, too loose on risk, and too confusing for retail audiences.
We discuss why he thinks the model grew fast, why it may run into walls, and what he believes is needed for a cleaner, more responsible version of prop trading.
This is Brendan at his frankest — sharp, grounded, and very clear about what changes are overdue.
