Specific inclusion of Franklin Templeton's BENJI and Tether Gold (XAU₮) highlights the service's focus on institutional-grade tokenized assets.

The launch addresses growing institutional demand for continuous liquidity outside traditional market hours.

This development represents Flow Traders' strategic expansion into the tokenized asset space.

The move builds on their extensive experience as a top-tier market maker in exchange-traded products.

The new service directly addresses a critical pain point for institutional investors unable to adjust positions during weekends or overnight sessions.

Global events impacting markets often occur when traditional trading desks are closed, creating significant risk management challenges.

Flow Traders' co-chief trading officer Marc Jansen emphasized the service will help large traders manage risk better beyond market hours.

Tokenized equities and commodities are already gaining popularity on venues such as Binance, OKX, and Hyperliquid.

Recent geopolitical tensions like Iran-Israel conflicts have highlighted the need for weekend market access.

These conflicts have flared over weekends, leaving traditional trading desks empty while crypto markets remained active.

Flow Traders' entry into tokenized OTC liquidity reflects rapid growth and institutional adoption of tokenized real-world assets.

“Flow Traders, the principal trading firm, said today (Thursday) it has opened an over-the-counter desk offering continuous, two-way liquidity for tokenized money-market funds, equities, and commodities, with Franklin Templeton's BENJI fund and Tether's gold-backed token XAU₮ among the initial products covered”

The tokenized gold and silver market is nearing $6 billion in value, up roughly fourfold since end of 2024.

The broader asset tokenization market is reportedly worth $3 trillion as of this year.

This market is growing at a compound annual growth rate of 44.25%.

Some estimates project the market could reach over $18 trillion by 2031.

Flow Traders' 20 years of experience positions them as a key infrastructure provider in this booming market.

Flow Traders brings substantial traditional finance expertise to the digital asset ecosystem.

The firm has operated at the intersection of traditional and digital markets for years.

They rank among the top three global market makers by ETP trading volume in 2025.

The firm operates across multiple asset classes including ETPs, digital assets, fixed income, FX, and commodities.

Their expansion builds on several years of building out digital asset infrastructure.

Their crypto subsidiary was registered by De Nederlandsche Bank in 2023 as a crypto services provider.

The institutional OTC market for tokenized assets may be approaching consolidation despite new entrants.

A Finery Markets survey found 60% of institutional OTC participants expect the number of active liquidity providers to fall before year-end.

This suggests market consolidation may be approaching even as new players enter the space.

Flow Traders has been broadening its digital asset presence through strategic partnerships.

They joined DWS and Galaxy Digital in a joint venture for a euro-denominated stablecoin.

They served as sole liquidity provider for TP ICAP's institutional crypto trading platform in 2021.

Discussions at Davos in January focused on wholesale applications of tokenization.

Institutions now view tokenization as practical infrastructure rather than speculative.

The Flow Traders OTC desk provides multiple access points for institutional clients.

Access methods include direct FIX connectivity, OMS/EMS platforms, ECNs, and high-touch OTC execution.

The company declares asset coverage will expand based on counterparty demand and regulatory considerations.

Product availability varies by jurisdiction and counterparty eligibility.

Different Flow Traders group members provide services based on their regulatory status in each market.

CEO Thomas Spitz emphasized tokenization's potential as next major step in market evolution.

In some large-cap U.S. stocks, tokenized and synthetic market activity has reached 2-3% of notional trading volume.
