AMA: Institutions Are Bringing $500B+ to Crypto! DeFinity Built the Infra They Trust

Hey Reddit – and especially the r/cryptocurrency community,

I'm Chris, Co-Founder and Chief Risk Officer of DeFinity Markets. You can check out our leadership team here: https://www.definitymarkets.com/leadership

We’ve spent most of our careers in foreign exchange, working at major banks like Barclays and Lloyds, helping institutions move hundreds of billions through some of the most tightly regulated markets in the world.

And we’ve learned exactly what institutions need:

Security. Compliance. Separation of risk.

When crypto started to mature, we saw what was coming: **Institutional capital was on the way.**But it wasn’t going to flow through hype or tokens. And no, banks weren’t going to use MetaMask.

They were going to need infrastructure that looked like what they already trust:

Regulated. Secure. Transparent.

So we got to work.

We spent years doing the regulatory groundwork, the hard stuff most avoid and turned it into our moat. We built DeFinity as a non-custodial platform from day one.

Why? Because institutions don’t want their trading venue holding their assets.

Anyone remember FTX? They need separation of function, risk controls, and audit trails.

We integrated with Fireblocks (who are like MetaMask for institutions) which provides secure wallet infrastructure for institutions and made onboarding possible in under four hours.

We’re not another token without utility. We’re not a DeFi experiment hoping for traction.We’re not waiting for regulators to catch up.

✅ We’re serving clients

✅ We’re generating revenue

✅ We’re regulated, integrated, and live

This isn’t a vision. It’s a functioning product. And we’re just getting started.

TLDR:

The problem: Institutional capital wants into crypto but most projects fail on regulation, custody, or compliance.

The solution: DeFinity Markets provides regulated, non-custodial infrastructure with full Fireblocks integration.

The proof:

– Fully doxxed team with decades of FX & TradFi experience

– Years spent securing regulatory approvals

– Onboarding in under 4 hours – Real clients. Real volume. Real revenue

We’re not building for a hypothetical future. We’re already live.
