Keyrock Expands into the U.S. Market with New Office in New York
In a significant move, cryptocurrency market maker Keyrock has announced the establishment of a new entity in the United States, along with the opening of an office in the bustling city of New York. This development was revealed in a press release issued on Tuesday.
At the helm of this New York initiative will be Robert Valdes-Rodriguez, Keyrock’s Chief Commercial Officer, who brings an impressive track record of over 25 years in senior management positions across various traditional finance institutions, including ABN AMRO, Scotiabank, and Credit Agricole.
The timing of Keyrock’s expansion aligns with a period of improving regulatory clarity in the U.S., particularly under the administration of President Donald Trump. This enhanced regulatory environment is anticipated to catalyze significant growth in the digital assets sector. Notably, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has established a new task force focused on cryptocurrency, led by Commissioner Hester Peirce, aimed at formulating new regulations to support the industry.
“The United States, recognized as the largest capital market in the world, presents an ideal opportunity for us to pursue our ambitions of becoming a leading player in the global financial markets,” stated Kevin de Patroul, CEO of Keyrock, in the press release.
Founded in Brussels in 2017, Keyrock has already established a presence in several countries, including Belgium, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and France. As a prominent crypto market maker, the firm is dedicated to providing liquidity to over 85 centralized and decentralized trading venues worldwide. Currently, Keyrock employs a workforce of 170 professionals and operates across a total of 37 countries.
