We're on a mission to bring traders together, automate workflows and simplify on-boarding!
Our Story
We are building the next generation of institutional OTC trading that is powered by conversation and automated with AI.
Paradigm was born out of our own frustrations with the institutional OTC trading process. After spending hundreds of hours trading and navigating the inefficient, multi-channel nature of traditional OTC markets, we thought to ourselves: “there has to be a better way.”
Paradigm is that better way.
Our Investors
Paradigm is backed by Dragonfly Capital, Digital Currency Group, OK Group, Bybit Fintech, Alameda Ventures (FTX), Vectr Fintech Partners, CoinShares, XBTO Ventures, Monex Group, Yleana Venture Partners and some of the most influential private investors in the OTC markets.
We are headquartered in New York City.
