Bitcoin is maturing from a hobbyist experiment to a serious financial instrument. Institutional investors, traders, and money managers want access to trading tools and services to connect themselves with the bitcoin economy. Those services do not exist and this is preventing many of them from trading bitcoin.

We are building an SEC registered broker dealer that can transact in bitcoin for institutional customers. Our team of industry veterans is building a brokerage that will allow US based fund managers to actively trade bitcoin across multiple trading venues from one account. Red Leaf Capital will provide institutional customers with custodial account services, statements, third party valuation, and access to bitcoin lending.

Red Leaf Capital is not an exchange or a payment processor. We are building a brokerage where world class proprietary trading firms, hedge funds, and money managers can trade across multiple exchanges.

TECHNOLOGY

The technology that Red Leaf uses is relatively straight forward for those involved in the electronic trading business. It breaks out into two major components. Order routing and management, and back-office accounting.

Customary electronic trading operations operate what is known as a FIX gateway. This allows customers to send orders and receive confirmations and transaction data in real-time using an industry standard FIX protocol. Once an order is sent into our gateway, we will check it against several measures including checking the overall risk of the customers account and other high-frequency trading checks. Then depending on the type of order it is routed out to the appropriate exchange. The "order router" is a common phrase used in electronic trading to describe the technology that determines where and how an order is routed. We have extensive buy-side and sell-side experience building order routers.
