Our platform includes a vast asset universe, synthetic pairs, and full self-service access via GUI or API.
Aplo is the only Prime Broker fully registered with Tier 1 regulator (AMF), for both custody and agency brokerage. We are 100% conflict-free, with no proprietary trading. We have the widest universe of crypto assets accessible in low-touch and high-touch, with the capacity to create synthetic pairs and to connect to any new asset in less than 24 hours. Our proprietary algorithms target to beat benchmark (VWAPs and TWAPs) to improve our customers performance.
Unlike centralized exchanges, Aplo operates as an EU-registered prime broker with a fundamentally different business model. While exchanges act as a marketplace matching buyers and sellers, we serve purely as an agent, executing trades on your behalf across multiple venues, including exchanges.
Our platform streamlines two key aspects:
- Prefunding: Instead of managing multiple exchange accounts and deposit addresses, you maintain a single relationship with Aplo
- Trading: Our advanced execution algorithms (TWAP, VWAP, % of volume) help you achieve better execution prices than standard exchange orders
Additionally, our sophisticated inventory management system automatically minimizes your exposure to any single exchange, providing an extra layer of security beyond traditional custody solutions.
