Talos Trading, a crypto <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/trading/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">trading</a> software provider based in New York, is set to double its workforce in the Asia-Pacific region over the next year in a bid to capitalize on the area’s evolving regulatory framework.
Samar Sen, head of Talos’ APAC division, told Bloomberg in an <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-10-14/a16z-backed-crypto-unicorn-talos-looks-to-double-apac-headcount" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">interview</a> that <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/asia/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Asia</a>‘s regulatory clarity in markets like Hong Kong, Singapore, and Japan has made it a key growth area, noting that “Asia punches above its weight in terms of contribution to the bottom line of global digital-asset companies.”
He also added that the company’s hiring initiative will focus on expanding business development, client services, and product and engineering teams as “many of Talos’ top clients, by trading volume, are APAC-based firms.”

The company centers its business on its software, which leverages the full crypto trading lifecycle, including liquidity sourcing, price discovery, trading, settlement, lending, and portfolio management.
