New developments at MAS Digital

July 2025 in Partner Content

MAS Digital is a specialist institutional digital asset trading and liquidity provider. We caught up with the firms Head of Strategic Development, Rob Brown to learn more about the latest developments at the firm and its commitment to delivering secure, reliable, and scalable access to the growing digital asset market.

Rob, there has been great deal going on so far this year at MAS Digital. Please summarise some of the key noteworthy developments for us.

Absolutely — it’s been a very active and exciting year so far at MAS Digital, and we’re keen to continue building on that momentum. Here are a few key highlights and what they mean for our clients:

  • Secured partnerships with industry leaders such as Fidelity Digital and ICAP. These relationships not only strengthen our credibility but also enhance our crypto offering and market access.
  • We are proud to have launched our new trading platform, designed with both usability and flexibility in mind. Clients can choose to trade directly via the platform, through our trading API’s or direct chat function.
  • Optimised Liquidity Access: We’ve carried out a comprehensive review of liquidity providers, separating those with genuine depth and consistent pricing and as a result, we can tailor the liquidity offering based on clients requirements with competitive pricing, reliable execution, and secure settlement.

Please remind us about the range of products and services you currently offer.

MAS Digital provides a comprehensive suite of digital asset services. These include: 

  • OTC Trading Desk for large on/off ramp transactions ($50k+)  
  • Execution & Clearing Services providing either an aggregated pool of liquidity or clearing on well-known regulated venues. 
  • Margin Trading on 125+ Crypto Crosses for professional clients via MAS Markets our FCA regulated entity. 

We work closely with our clients and as new products and services emerge in the digital asset space, we remain committed to evolving alongside the market – continuously introducing products and services that complement and enhance our existing suite.

What features does the MAS Digital trading platform have that makes it particularly attractive for financial institutions & professional traders.

Our trading platform is designed to be intuitive, visually clean, and highly functional. It features two distinct layouts to suit different user types, ideal for clients focused on on/off-ramp services and the other specifically for professional traders and financial institutions engaging in price speculation.

Clients can log in to view real-time pricing from multiple Tier 1 liquidity providers and access built-in reporting tools for seamless account reconciliation — making it especially valuable from an operational standpoint.

The platform also supports a range of connectivity options, such as FIX API and WebSocket access giving clients the flexibility to integrate it into their existing infrastructure.  (UAT and Demo environments available for testing). 

How have you engineered your infrastructure to facilitate reliable low-latency trading for those firms where speed is paramount?

Unlike traditional finance, where connectivity is standardised through FIX connectivity, the Digital Asset space is fragmented – different venues and providers use different APIs, WebSockets, or proprietary protocols. This lack of uniformity makes integration more complex.

At MAS Digital, we simplify this by offering flexible connectivity – FIX, REST API, or GUI – and aggregating liquidity through a single platform. This allows firms to integrate Digital Assets into existing workflows for low-latency trading where speed is the primary concern.

Our trading platform is designed to be intuitive, visually clean, and highly functional.

MAS Digital also offers on/off ramp conversion services. In what way does this provide various financial institutions with seamless access to digital assets?

By simply onboarding with MAS Digital our clients get access to our full suite of Digital Asset products. They can enjoy seamless crypto<>fiat conversions safe with the knowledge that we’ve implemented various safety measures to ensure security of funds and speedy settlement times. 

They’re given access to stable coin rails along with 30+ other Digital Assets including BTC & ETH . They’re also given direct access to trade on the Fusion Digital Asset exchange (ICAP) via FIXED / REST API or web socket. On this side, Custody is with Fidelity Digital Assets.

What’s in the pipeline at MAS Digital regarding new products and services over the coming months?

MAS Digital continues to evolve as we enhance our infrastructure and expand our institutional reach. We’re pleased to have recently onboarded Simon Halliday as our new Key Partnerships Adviser, bringing deep industry expertise to support our next phase of growth and to strengthen relationships across institutional channels.

We’re also focused on building ancillary services around our core digital offering — enabling clients to scale effectively while benefiting from a more comprehensive and supportive ecosystem.

In parallel, we’re preparing to launch new currency account capabilities, allowing us to serve a broader range of jurisdictions and provide more tailored, multi-currency solutions to meet the specific needs of our growing client base.

These enhancements reflect our commitment to continuous improvement and strategic innovation as we support clients through every stage of their journey with MAS Digital.

How can firms who are interested in partnering with MAS Digital learn more about the company?

We pride ourselves on being very approachable and are always looking for new opportunities to collaborate.
