Paradigm automates Over-The-Counter (OTC) crypto trading for institutional crypto traders within a native chat application. After spending hundreds of hours trading and navigating the inefficient, multi-channel nature of traditional OTC markets, we thought to ourselves: “there has to be a better way”..........Paradigm is that better way.

We are building a single-channel, multi-dealer marketplace for the $230 Billion OTC crypto market that is powered by conversation and automated with AI. Paradigm is backed by Vectr Fintech Partners and some of the most influential private investors in the OTC markets.
