Aplo is the EU’s only fully registered crypto prime broker, pre-authorized under the MiCA regime for both custody and trading services. Serving clients globally, our platform connects to over 12 major centralized and decentralized exchanges. Using innovative synthetic pair trading technology, we unlock access to 300+ digital assets and 100,000+ trading pairs, with billions in trading volume processed.

We’re strictly agency-only—no proprietary trading—ensuring full alignment with client interests. Our smart order routing and execution algorithms deliver an average price improvement of 17bps, with even higher gains on large orders, consistently outperforming VWAP and TWAP benchmarks.

Aplo’s platform features an integrated OMS/PMS, accessible via GUI and API, eliminating the need for third-party software. This ensures seamless trading, portfolio management, and reporting in one place. We also provide program trading capabilities in low- and high-touch formats, supported by enterprise-grade API integration for systematic trading.

As a qualified custodian, we enforce strict asset segregation protocols, reducing the complexity of managing multiple exchange relationships. Designed for institutional clients, we’ve handled transactions up to $1.1 billion, delivering advanced execution, security, and scalable infrastructure for asset managers, hedge funds, and professional traders worldwide.
