South Florida fintech Cypator is helping institutions navigate the chaotic world of crypto trading by providing compliant, enterprise-grade technology and liquidity solutions. The company has already processed billions in trades and aims to support tokenized real-world assets in the future.
Institutional crypto trading used to feel like the wild west. Phones were ringing constantly, traders called dealers, dealers called liquidity providers, and everyone scrambled to keep up with market moves that felt faster than most systems could handle. For Ayal Jedeikin, who has decades of experience in electronic trading, that gap between traditional markets and digital asset markets was too large to ignore.
That realization led Jedeikin to launch Cypator based in Miami and Boca Raton. Cypator’s mission is straightforward: build the infrastructure that lets banks, brokers, and institutional funds trade and provide liquidity in digital assets with the same reliability and compliance they expect in regulated markets.
Modernizing OTC Trading
Institutional participation has long been limited in crypto. Retail traders dominated the space, but compliance challenges and a lack of institutional‑grade tools kept larger financial firms on the sidelines. Jedeikin saw this as the key barrier to broader adoption.
Cypator launched in March 2022 and remains a small but rapidly scaling team. The company has processed more than $6 billion in trades and now supports over 25 institutional participants trading digital assets in the United States and abroad. These clients focus on assets with real economic value rather than speculative meme coins.
Cypator offers two primary solutions. The first is a technology stack for over‑the‑counter (OTC) desks that modernizes a process still handled by phone and messaging apps. The second is a liquidity network that routes orders through a regulated prime broker rather than a public exchange. This architecture gives firms the familiar controls they need while ensuring trades clear through trusted infrastructure.
By acting solely as the technology layer and not as a broker, wallet provider, or counterparty, Cypator stays compliant and transparent. The platform focuses on audit trails and enterprise‑level compliance features that larger financial institutions require, especially as U.S. regulators provide clearer guidance on digital asset rules.
Interest from institutional players has grown significantly. Jedeikin expects hundreds of new OTC desks to open around the world in the coming years as banks and brokers expand their digital asset offerings. Some exchanges are also establishing institutional trading desks to meet demand.
Looking Ahead: Tokenized Assets
Looking ahead, Jedeikin believes that the next major wave of disruption in crypto will come from tokenized real world assets like treasuries, real estate titles, and money market funds that can trade around the clock. Cypator plans to support a broad set of instruments, expanding beyond spot trading of over 300 coins into options and other products.
For Jedeikin, the goal remains clear: remove friction so the market can mature and institutions can confidently participate in the future of finance.
