ABEX Welcomes Further Asset Management as Strategic Investor to Advance Institutional Digital Asset Trading Standards
London, UK – May 12th – ABEX, an algorithmic trading agent for digital assets, today announced that Further Asset Management, a global investment platform focused on venture, structured products and digital assets, has joined its investor base.
The investment supports ABEX continued expansion, including its institutional-grade trading engine, white labelling capabilities and dark pool, reinforcing its position at the intersection of traditional finance and digital asset markets.
ABEX delivers leading algorithmic trade execution by combining research-driven, model-based algorithms with ultra-low latency trading infrastructure. While its algorithm suite includes industry standards such as TWAP, VWAP, POV, Smart Limit, Maker and Spread Trader, the underlying execution logic is fundamentally superior. Every child order decision is powered by proprietary machine learning models and quantitative research, dynamically optimising timing, sizing and placement in real time.
Execution is delivered through a high-performance C++ trading engine with distributed co-location across venues, enabling microsecond responsiveness and precise interaction with market microstructure.
"Welcoming Further to our investor base is a strong validation of our approach," said Erkan Kaya, CEO & Co-Founder of ABEX. "Execution quality in digital asset markets remains underdeveloped. Our focus has been to bring a research-led, infrastructure-first model that delivers measurable improvements for institutional clients."
Faisal Al Hammadi, Managing Partner, Further Ventures: "Institutional execution in digital assets is still structurally weak — fragmented liquidity, poor routing, and limited price improvement. ABEX is one of the few teams addressing this at the infrastructure level, combining low-latency architecture with model-driven execution. That focus on measurable execution quality is what sets them apart as institutional participation scales."
The investment will support continued development of ABEX algorithm suite, further optimisation of its low-latency infrastructure, and expansion of its global institutional client base.
