Metalpha, Exos and BlockchainK2 Form US Digital Asset Joint Venture
Metalpha Technology Holding Limited, a global provider of blockchain and digital trading technology solutions, has announced that it has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Exos Financial LLC, a New York–based technology-focused financial services firm, and BlockchainK2 Corp. (TSXV: BITK), a publicly listed Canadian blockchain holding company. The three companies plan to establish a joint venture to deliver compliant, institutional-grade digital asset services, primarily targeting clients in the United States.
This planned joint venture brings together three complementary organizations to meet increasing demand for crypto-related financial services in the US market. The collaboration will combine Metalpha’s expertise in cryptocurrency derivatives and liquidity solutions, Exos Financial’s regulated investment banking and asset management capabilities led by former Credit Suisse CEO Brady Dougan, and BlockchainK2’s tokenization and fund distribution technologies. Together, they aim to bridge traditional finance with the digital asset ecosystem.
According to the MOU, the new business will focus on serving institutional clients in the US through three main areas: customized OTC derivatives and risk management solutions for institutions and miners, the development of digital asset investment strategies such as crypto relative value approaches, and securities-linked products that offer exposure to digital assets.
Adrian Wang, CEO of Metalpha, stated that the agreement marks an important step in the company’s global growth strategy. He highlighted that partnering with Exos and BlockchainK2 will enable Metalpha to enter the US market with a compliant institutional offering while leveraging Exos’s market expertise and BlockchainK2’s technology infrastructure to deliver its derivative products to US clients.
Brady Dougan, Founder and CEO of Exos Financial, noted that integrating technology with regulatory compliance is central to the future of finance. He emphasized that the partnership will expand Exos’s institutional platform into digital assets, providing clients with advanced strategies supported by institutional-grade infrastructure.
Sergei Stetsenko, CEO of BlockchainK2, added that the collaboration combines Metalpha’s trading capabilities, Exos’s institutional experience, and BlockchainK2’s technology ecosystem to create a strong platform for growth, addressing key challenges faced by US institutions seeking digital asset exposure.
