CHICAGO, Dec. 16, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Zero Hash, the leader in digital trade settlement, today announced a partnership with tastyworks, one of the fastest growing US equity brokerages, to launch digital asset trading to hundreds of thousands of the most active traders in the world. Through Zero Hash technology, tastyworks clients will be able to trade digital currencies including Bitcoin and Ethereum on the same platform and account that they use for stocks, options and futures.
Zero Hash delivers secure, low latency infrastructure to settle digital assets in a completely automated way with full regulatory compliance. “Zero Hash is committed to building best-of-breed technology for the digital asset space, and tastyworks shares that ambition in stock and option trading. Together, we enable crypto trading to tastyworks clients in the most user-focused way possible,” said Edward Woodford, Zero Hash’s CEO.
“I’ve traded crypto personally for several years, but what’s been missing is the seamless integration with the rest of my portfolio,” said Tom Sosnoff, CEO of tastytrade. “This partnership with Zero Hash solves that problem for all tastyworks clients. Plus, crypto is becoming its own asset class. As Bitcoin becomes more mainstream, tastyworks and Zero Hash will provide the go-to platform for retail traders.”
