Since our beginnings in 2017, we've grown to be a leading change‑maker in the digital asset space, renowned for our partnerships and innovation. Today, we rock with over 180 team members around the world. Our diverse team hails from 42 nationalities, with backgrounds ranging from DeFi natives to PhDs. Predominantly remote, we have hubs in London, Brussels, Singapore and Paris, and host regular online and offline hangouts to keep the crew tight.

We are trading on more than 80 exchanges, and working with a wide array of asset issuers. As a well‑established market maker, our distinctive expertise led us to expand rapidly. Our services span market making, options trading, high‑frequency trading, OTC, and DeFi trading desks. Keyrock is looking to expand and establish itself as a full‑service financial institution through both organic innovation and inorganic growth.

But we’re more than a service provider. We’re an initiator, pioneers in adopting the Rust Development language for our algorithmic trading, and champions of its use in the industry.
