"The U.S., as the largest capital market in the world, is a natural fit for our ambitions to eventually become one of the largest players in global financial markets," said Kevin de Patoul, CEO of Keyrock, in the release.
Keyrock was founded in Brussels in 2017 and has existing entities in Belgium, the U.K., Switzerland and France.
The crypto market maker provides liquidity to over 85 centralized and decentralized trading venues globally. The firm has 170 employees and operates across 37 countries.
