Kauri Finance: How a Hybrid Crypto-Bank Optimized Operations with Finery Markets and Clear Junction

The Challenge: 

In the early stages of its development, Kauri Finance faced the challenge of processing a high volume of crypto transactions – from small to large sums – in a cost-efficient and timely manner. The company needed a platform that could provide predictable execution rates and a seamless integration with liquidity management solutions. In addition, Kauri Finance needed access to multiple liquidity providers and a system that could handle the manual pricing for trades.

The Solution: 

Finery Markets and Clear Junction presented a solution that met all of Kauri Finance's requirements. With Finery Markets as the ECN providing access to a wide range of liquidity providers and Clear Junction handling fiat transfers, the combined platform enabled efficient hedging and exchange rate management.

Kauri has implemented the Finery Markets infrastructure to access multiple liquidity providers via an API, offering the flexibility to trade without pre-funding and a 0% rejection rate on trade executions. The onboarding process went smoothly and quickly. It took only a few weeks from the initial documentation gathering to full implementation.

The pre-funding of non-collateralized trading and the ability to access multiple liquidity providers through an API have been significant game changer for us. The predictable execution and automated settlements most certainly make a difference in our operations,

says Popovych.

Results: 

By integrating Finery Markets into its operations, Kauri Finance has achieved greater operational stability and efficiency. The platform’s ability to guarantee trade execution without downtime or unpredictable scenarios was a key improvement. This has enabled Kauri Finance to streamline both small and large hedging operations.

Since we started working with Finery Markets, the stress resistance of our platform has grown. We now have the guarantee that trades will be completed on the required terms and within the required timeframe,

explains Popovych.

Kauri Finance is now exploring further collaboration opportunities, such as implementing the Clear Junction virtual IBAN service to automate the payment reconciliation as the company prepares to issue physical cards to its users.

Conclusion:

Finery Markets has provided Kauri Finance with the tools it needed to manage liquidity, optimize trades, and process high transaction volumes efficiently. With reliable trade execution, access to liquidity providers, and automated settlements, Kauri Finance has enhanced the operational resilience of its platforms and is prepared for future growth.
