These additions will strengthen our ability to deliver a stable, scalable, and globally compliant solution for professional traders.

Our expanded team, our upcoming self-serve platform, and our multi-jurisdictional licensing efforts are all part of a long-term plan to create a secure and institution-focused trading environment.The work being completed today will shape the reliability and professionalism of the platform our clients will use in the future. We look forward to sharing additional updates as we continue building a service designed around transparency, compliance, and exceptional execution quality.

BlockRiver: Preparing for Launch With Team Growth, a Self-Serve Platform, and Multi-Jurisdictional Licensing

BlockRiver is entering an important stage of development as we prepare for our official launch in the digital asset and forex markets. Our goal is to create an institutional-grade OTC trading platform that offers transparency, security, and a high standard of regulatory compliance. To achieve this, we are expanding our team, building a fully self-serve platform, and pursuing multi-jurisdictional licensing to support clients in several regulated markets.

This update provides a clear overview of the work underway and the foundations we are putting in place to support a trusted and globally aligned OTC trading service.

Developing a Fully Self-Serve Institutional Platform

A major focus of our current development cycle is the creation of the BlockRiver self-serve platform. This platform is designed to give institutions and professional traders a seamless and transparent experience while maintaining strong compliance controls.

Key platform capabilities include:

  • Secure onboarding and verification flows built for regulatory environments
  • Access to OTC digital asset and forex liquidity through a clear and efficient RFQ model
  • Tools for trade execution, settlement review, and account activity tracking
  • Independent account management including API access, reporting, and operational settings
  • A clean and intuitive interface designed for speed and clarity

The aim is to provide clients with full operational independence without sacrificing support. While the platform will be self-serve, our team will remain available to offer assistance when needed. This approach combines operational efficiency with the reassurance of expert human support.

The infrastructure behind the platform is designed for reliability, low latency, and high availability. This is essential for institutional users who require stable and predictable performance across global markets.

Progress on Multi-Jurisdictional Licensing

Regulatory trust is central to our mission. BlockRiver is actively working to secure the regulatory structure necessary to serve clients responsibly across multiple regions. This includes licensing efforts in Switzerland through SRO membership and engagement with compliance frameworks in other respected global jurisdictions.

Our licensing strategy involves:

  • Establishing operations within Switzerland’s trusted regulatory environment
  • Developing internal policies that exceed standard AML and CFT expectations
  • Ensuring our systems are capable of meeting reporting, audit, and monitoring requirements
  • Maintaining alignment with global standards for digital asset and forex trading

We are building these foundations with care. Our objective is not only to meet regulatory obligations but to provide clients with confidence that BlockRiver operates with clarity, transparency, and the highest level of compliance.

As global rules for digital assets evolve, our commitment is to remain aligned with established authorities and maintain strong governance throughout our operations.
