Zurich, Switzerland / Johannesburg, South Africa – Wyden, the global leader in institutional digital asset trading technology, today announced the integration of VALR, the largest crypto exchange in Africa by trade volume, into its market-wide network of liquidity connectors.
\nThe partnership marks a significant milestone in Wyden’s strategic growth in South Africa. Through this integration, Wyden’s institutional clients gain seamless, direct access to VALR’s deep liquidity pools, including the world’s deepest ZAR-denominated crypto markets. VALR’s extensive offering of 100+ crypto assets, will now be accessible through the Wyden trading platform.
\nBy combining Wyden’s end-to-end trade lifecycle automation, Smart Order Routing (SOR), and best execution capabilities with VALR’s comprehensive range of crypto assets spanning spot margin, perpetual futures, and OTC services, financial institutions can now navigate the South African and global digital asset markets with increased efficiency and reduced operational risk.
\nThe integration ensures that Wyden clients can execute large-scale trades with best execution while maintaining the rigorous compliance standards required by the FSCA and European regulators, under which VALR is licensed.
\nCommenting on the integration, Andy Flury, Wyden’s Founder and President of the Board, said: “South Africa represents a strategically vital market as we continue to expand our global institutional footprint. By integrating VALR, we are providing our clients with unparalleled access to the deepest liquidity in the region and a broad range of innovative assets. VALR’s commitment to regulatory excellence and institutional-grade infrastructure aligns perfectly with Wyden’s mission to provide banks and brokers with the most reliable and efficient trading technology available.”
\nFarzam Ehsani, Co-Founder and CEO at VALR, added: “This integration with Wyden represents a major step forward in bridging global institutional demand with Africa’s deepest crypto liquidity. It further solidifies VALR’s position as a leading infrastructure and liquidity provider not only across the continent but also on the international stage, empowering institutions, businesses, and individuals with seamless, compliant, and secure access to our comprehensive range of digital assets.”
\nAs South Africa continues to establish itself as a sophisticated regional hub for digital asset regulation and trading, the partnership provides a robust gateway for global and local financial institutions.
