Uniswap Expands Institutional Reach with Talos Collaboration for DeFi Liquidity

Uniswap Labs has joined forces with Talos, an institutional investing technology firm, to introduce decentralized finance (DeFi) liquidity to institutional traders.

In this partnership, Uniswap Labs will provide its Trading APIs to Talos clients in a familiar Talos order book format, with plans to enable access to the UniswapX ecosystem in the near future. Fireblocks, a platform designed for storing, moving, and issuing digital assets, will facilitate institutional access to Uniswap. This collaboration underscores the increasing interest from institutional investors in crypto assets, driven by the demand for market depth and breadth.

Talos sees the partnership as a way for institutional clients to gain exposure to specific protocols and projects only tradable on decentralized exchanges like Uniswap, while others seek to trade at scale and require deeper liquidity in assets such as ether (ETH). Higher yields offered by DeFi lending protocols compared to traditional financial opportunities, along with the potential for tokenized real-world assets gaining traction in the market, are further fueling the move towards DeFi.
