Blockchain.com announced a trading API on November 5 to give institutions automated access to its principal liquidity across digital assets. The service extends its prime brokerage offering alongside voice and chat-based over-the-counter trading.
The company says clients can request executable quotes and trade major cryptocurrencies, altcoins and stablecoins around the clock. Its claims about pricing, settlement and available markets need to be checked against client terms, and institutions still need to integrate the API with their trading controls. The announcement does not establish better prices than competing venues or show how many clients use the service.
