Auros Launches Aurora, Bringing Institutional-Grade Execution to Digital Asset Markets

New institutional OTC trading portal gives institutions seamless access to Auros’ liquidity across major centralised and decentralised venues with a single trusted counterparty 

HONG KONG, 29 SEPTEMBER 2026 – Auros, a leading global algorithmic trading and market-making firm, today announced the launch of Aurora, its institutional OTC trading portal designed to help institutions navigate increasingly fragmented digital asset markets with greater efficiency, execution quality and operational simplicity.

As institutional participation in digital assets continues to grow, liquidity has become increasingly dispersed across exchanges, OTC desks and DeFi venues, making execution more operationally complex. Institutions are increasingly seeking infrastructure that simplifies access to liquidity while delivering consistent execution performance.

Aurora addresses this challenge by providing institutions access to Auros’ liquidity sourced across major centralised and decentralised venues via a single interface. Combining proprietary execution technology, same-day settlement and flexible execution workflows, the portal enables institutions to address diverse trading needs, from routine flow to highly customised trading strategies, with a single trusted counterparty.

Built for the Next Phase of Institutional Markets

Digital asset markets are entering a new phase of institutional maturity, where execution quality is emerging as a key competitive differentiator. Institutions are looking beyond access alone, seeking infrastructure that delivers consistent execution performance, operational resilience and the flexibility to support increasingly sophisticated trading strategies.

Aurora brings together market access, click-to-trade execution, settlement workflows, and reporting within a unified portal, supporting RFQs, limit, market, TWAP and VWAP orders, API connectivity and a 24/7 trading desk staffed by experienced market specialists.

At the core of Aurora is proprietary execution technology that intelligently sources liquidity across a broad network of venues in real time, minimising market impact while delivering more efficient execution across increasingly fragmented markets.

Institutional Infrastructure Beyond Execution

Beyond execution, Aurora leverages Auros’ proprietary execution technology and extensive liquidity network. Alongside Auros' OTC institutional capabilities, the portal combines rapid onboarding of digital assets, fast settlement workflows and intraday deferred settlement upon request. Institutions can now deploy capital and deploy increasingly sophisticated trading strategies with a single trusted counterparty.

“Institutional digital assets are entering a new phase, where execution quality, operational resilience and market access matter just as much as liquidity itself,” said Jason Atkins, Chief Commercial Officer at Auros. “Aurora reflects years of experience operating at the heart of global digital asset markets. We've built a portal that combines deep market access, proprietary execution technology and institutional-grade trading capabilities into a single trading experience, enabling institutions to navigate sophisticated strategies with greater confidence while reducing operational complexity.”

Making Institutional Digital Asset Markets More Liquid

Aurora represents the next step in Auros’ long-term vision to deliver institutional infrastructure that supports the continued evolution of digital asset markets. As institutional capital continues to enter the asset class, competitive advantage will increasingly be defined not by access to liquidity alone, but by the quality of execution behind every trade. Institutions will gravitate towards infrastructure that combines intelligent liquidity sourcing, operational resilience and execution excellence, within a single trusted relationship.

Aurora is built for that future – helping institutions deploy capital across digital asset markets with greater efficiency, confidence and scale.
