CoinRoutes Acquires QIS Risk to Become Leading Digital Asset Trading Platform
London, United Kingdom, October 3rd, 2025, Chainwire
CoinRoutes, the institutional-grade algorithmic crypto trading platform trusted by elite hedge funds, principal brokerages, and prop traders around the world, today announced the strategic acquisition of QIS Risk, the back-to-back 2024 and 2025 HedgeWeek Risk Management Solution of the Year. This combination creates the crypto industry’s first comprehensive end-to-end institutional platform, combining CoinRoutes’ patented market-leading execution technology with QIS Risk’s award-winning portfolio monitoring and risk management capabilities.
The acquisition fundamentally reshapes the competitive landscape of OEMS, positioning CoinRoutes head-to-head against legacy providers like Talos and Elwood, while delivering superior execution performance that has been refined over seven years and over half a trillion dollars of executed trades. Where competitors have offered vertical integration before, CoinRoutes now delivers both best-in-class execution AND comprehensive workflow tools – a combination previously unavailable in the digital asset space.
From Execution Excellence to Workflow Dominance
“This acquisition represents a seismic advantage for our customers,” said Ian Weisberger, CEO and Co-Founder of CoinRoutes. “For seven years, we’ve been the execution engine of choice for sophisticated traders who demand the absolute best possible performance. Now we’re delivering the complete institutional experience – from market-leading algorithmic execution to comprehensive risk management and portfolio monitoring. We’re not just competing anymore; we’re redefining the landscape.”
The combined platform delivers an unprecedented institutional experience:
- Execution Leadership: CoinRoutes’ patented distributed market access to over 50 exchanges, covering 3,000+ assets with industry-leading low latency algorithms purpose-built for crypto. Our best-in-class spread algorithm allows market neutral funds to generate stable yield via basis and funding rate arbitrage.
- Comprehensive Risk Management: QIS Risk’s award-winning platform monitoring portfolios across 70+ trade sources, providing real-time P&L tracking, stress testing, and counterparty risk analysis
- Options Analytics: trade capture across Deribit and OTC counterparties. Standardized real-time position marks and portfolio greeks. Comprehensive risk metrics under simulated market shocks.
- DeFi: on-chain investment tracking, including major swap protocols; staking balances and rewards; and derivative products such as perps. Standardized P&L and exposure reporting for both your on- and off-chain positions.
- Full Lifecycle Workflow: Seamless end-to-end operations from trade execution through settlement, reporting, and risk monitoring.
- Global 24/7 Support: Expanded presence across Miami, New York, Dubai, Singapore and London, ensuring round-the-clock, high touch support.
Award-Winning Technology Meets Proven Performance
“Digital assets have reached an inflection point where institutions require enterprise-grade infrastructure across the entire investment lifecycle,” said Fred Cox, Founder of QIS Risk and incoming Global CTO of CoinRoutes. “CoinRoutes represents the perfect partner to scale our vision. Together, we’re delivering a more complete solution that meets institutions exactly where they are in their digital asset journey.”
Strategic Market Positioning
This acquisition directly challenges established competitors by combining two critical advantages:
- Superior execution performance honed through seven years of algorithmic refinement
- Comprehensive workflow tools that match or exceed traditional institutional expectations
Leadership and Global Expansion
As part of the acquisition, Fred Cox joins CoinRoutes’ leadership team as Global Chief Technology Officer, bringing deep expertise in institutional risk management and expanding CoinRoutes’ European presence. The combined team now provides 24/7 global coverage through strategic locations in Miami, New York, Dubai, and London.
“We’re building the platform that the next generation of digital asset institutions will run on,” added Weisberger. “This is just the beginning – expect more strategic moves as we continue expanding our comprehensive platform capabilities.”
