Flow Traders has launched a digital asset over-the-counter (OTC) trading service offering 24/7 liquidity for tokenized funds, equities and commodities as trading firms move to support demand for round-the-clock access to onchain assets.

The Amsterdam-listed firm said the new service will provide continuous two-way pricing for tokenized money-market funds, equities and commodities including Franklin Templeton’s BENJI and Tether Gold. The platform is aimed at permissioned counterparties seeking to trade and hedge exposure outside traditional market hours.

The move comes as tokenized assets gain traction as a practical institutional use case and as market participants push for infrastructure that can function overnight and through weekends.

Market infrastructure meets tokenization

The launch follows broader growth in tokenized markets. Tokenized assets have swelled to almost $25bn driven largely by tokenized Treasuries and commodities.

Flow Traders said institutions increasingly want the ability to manage equity and commodity exposure when risk moves outside traditional exchange hours. Chief executive Thomas Spitz said tokenized and synthetic equity products in some large-cap US names have at times reached about 2.0% to 3.0% of the notional trading volume of their primary US listings.

That shift is part of a wider move toward continuous markets. Nasdaq and Kraken are developing infrastructure for 24/7 tokenized stocks, with xStocks having already surpassed $25bn in total transaction volume including more than $4bn settled onchain.

24/7 trading model gains momentum

Recent market events have strengthened the case for continuous trading. Hyperliquid’s HIP-3 markets priced oil and gold risk in real time during the beginning of the Middle East crisis while traditional venues were closed, highlighting how onchain markets are increasingly used to express macro views over weekends.

Flow Traders said its OTC platform is designed to support that shift, allowing counterparties to trade against fiat or stablecoins through FIX connectivity, OMS or EMS systems, ECNs or high-touch execution.

The company said asset coverage will expand based on demand, regulation and venue support. The launch suggests that traditional market makers increasingly see tokenized assets not just as a product category but as part of the infrastructure for continuous global trading.
