August 5, 2025 | Finery Markets
In this special episode of The Flow, we turn the tables. FinanceFeeds’ Editor-in-Chief Nikolai Isayev sits down with Konstantin Shulga, CEO and Co-Founder of Finery Markets, to explore how a cloud-native ECN is quietly shaping the future of institutional crypto.
Recognized by CNBC and Deloitte as a rising fintech leader, Finery Markets is the only non-custodial ECN focused on institutional digital asset trading. The conversation spans everything from market structure history and global regulatory shifts to the practicalities of cloud infrastructure and hybrid execution models.
Finery Markets Among the Global Fintech Elite
Konstantin unpacks what it means to be named a top 20 global fintech by CNBC and a Deloitte Fast 50 Rising Star — and why this recognition signals broader validation for institutional crypto infrastructure.
Cyprus as a Launchpad for Global Growth
From quality of life to regulatory advantages, Konstantin shares why Finery Markets chose Cyprus as its HQ — and how it enables operations across Europe, the Middle East, and beyond.
The ECN Model, Reimagined for Crypto
With fragmentation increasing in digital asset markets, Konstantin outlines why ECNs are essential. Finery’s unique hybrid model — combining firm liquidity, RFQ, and quote streaming — is designed to meet the complex needs of institutional clients.
