GSR Secures Regulatory Approval from UK and Singapore Authorities
Crypto market maker GSR has secured its position as a leader in compliance and liquidity across both centralized and decentralized platforms. Key highlights include:
- Josh Riezman, Chief Strategy Officer and U.S. Deputy General Counsel, is pivotal to GSR’s strategy
- GSR became the first crypto liquidity provider authorized by the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority and Singapore’s Monetary Authority
- Regulatory alignment is viewed as essential for sustainable growth in the crypto market
- In April, GSR led a $100 million investment into Apex (UPXI), transitioning to a crypto-based treasury strategy
Riezman noted that GSR is proactive in working with regulators to ensure compliance as global regulations evolve. He highlighted current challenges like regulatory uncertainty in the U.S., but expressed optimism about clearer frameworks emerging in Singapore and Europe.
GSR is integrating DeFi technologies into its offerings, engaging with leading automated market makers (AMMs) and expanding on-chain capabilities. The firm's risk management framework supports stability in volatile markets, focusing on lifecycle support for clients in advisory roles.
Looking ahead, GSR aims to be a comprehensive partner for innovative crypto projects, facilitating entry into the U.S. market, and advocating for regulatory structures that foster innovation and liquidity.
