DV Chain

DV Chain is a cryptocurrency liquidity provider founded in 2016 that trades for its own account with institutional counterparties, exchanges and traders. According to the company, it supports more than 80 cryptocurrencies, over 450 pairs and more than 30 fiat currencies through electronic OTC and API, and it does not hold client assets.

Services The listed services are principal OTC trading, RFQ, API liquidity and algorithmic orders. Connectivity is offered over WebSocket, REST and FIX, and the public website confirms the APIs. Fiat settlement currencies named are USD, CAD, GBP, EUR, AUD and JPY.

Fees and settlement The company states that there are no fees and that it trades only as principal, so the cost to a client is the price quoted. Settlement is intra-day, and ad-hoc weekend settlements are available.

Clients and compliance DV Chain serves institutions, exchanges and traders. Clients go through KYC and AML onboarding and must be approved as counterparties. The company claims registration with FINTRAC in Canada, which is self-reported and not confirmed here against the register.

Who it suits The desk is relevant for exchanges, brokers and professional traders that need deep two-way liquidity with fiat settlement and want to connect through standard trading protocols.
