We are pleased to announce that RedBlock Capital has recently completed an investment in Black Ocean. Incubated by VRM, a high-frequency quantitative trading company, Black Ocean is a dark pool project, providing institutional users access to more liquidity.
Off-market liquidity has always been a pain point in the crypto market. Funds and institutional traders have regularly experienced constraints in efficiently dealing with flows of large sizes. The Black Ocean team brings decades of experience from traditional finance to this and we look forward to working with them on building on this essential piece of infrastructure.
