Floating Point Group

221 River St, Hoboken, New Jersey, 07030, United States

Overview

Floating Point Group provides an institutional platform that grants hedge funds, asset managers and other investors direct market access to centralized and decentralized cryptocurrency exchanges and OTC desks. Its platform includes a Multi-Party Computation (MPC) wallet system designed to secure assets without compromising fund security. The company’s first product, an order and execution management system (OEMS), is integrated with its custody and settlement platform. That OEMS has been used by dozens of institutional clients to trade billions of dollars of cryptocurrencies in 2021. Floating Point Group intends to use the new funding to grow its U.S.-based software engineering staff and expand into new markets. The company is led by cofounder and CEO John Peurifoy. Floating Point Group (FPG) simplifies how institutional traders deploy algorithmic systems for cryptocurrency trading via a consolidated, US‑regulated API offering advanced order execution and real‑time market data. Its platform includes a smart order router, partner settlement networks enabling fast execution, and the ability to trade on credit when funds are held with qualified custodians. FPG feeds market data to more than 20 organizations and has executed hundreds of millions of dollars of trades. Launched at MIT, the company targets sophisticated quantitative traders and platform developers seeking consolidated access to fragmented liquidity across exchanges and non‑exchange venues. With the new capital, FPG plans to aggressively expand its engineering staff and acquire additional U.S. regulatory licenses to broaden the jurisdictions it can serve. The company also intends to add pieces of the prime brokerage stack through strategic partnerships to deliver a holistic experience for algorithmic traders.
