Skew offers real-time data analytics focused on crypto derivatives and has expanded into trade execution with a new platform, skewTrading, in partnership with Kyte Broking. The company will initially focus skewTrading on OTC execution of CME block trades for bitcoin futures and bitcoin options on futures contracts, targeting crypto-native asset managers, hedge funds and OTC desks. Founders Emmanuel Goh and Tim Noat, both former equity derivatives traders, started Skew in September 2018. Skew is positioning its brokerage offering as a bridge for traditional institutions entering crypto, emphasizing CME products as the first area of institutional comfort. The company has nine employees, recently hired Ian Brennan as head of product, and plans to double headcount over the next half year to build engineering and product capacity. The business has raised capital to support these plans and the launch of its brokerage services.
