Talos, a provider of institutional trading technology for digital assets, completed the acquisition of Skolem, a technology provider that enables institutional investors to access decentralized finance (DeFi) markets safely and effectively. Financial terms were not disclosed. "DeFi is playing a growing role in the digital asset ecosystem and we've seen increasing interest from both crypto-native and traditional institutions. Institutional demand is driven by access to liquidity for a broader range of emerging assets as well as novel opportunities to deploy digital assets. Skolem's pioneering technology will position Talos to set a new standard for the digital asset OEMS and PMS – one that incorporates DeFi end to end," Anton Katz, Talos CEO and Co-Founder.
