BlockBeats news, on March 17, crypto market maker and trading firm GSR announced the acquisition of consulting firms Autonomous and Architech for $57 million to launch an integrated crypto capital markets and treasury management platform.
According to the announcement, Autonomous will retain its original brand and continue to provide token issuance operations, financial management, and infrastructure support within the GSR ecosystem; Architech will become the core of GSR’s digital assets advisory business, operating in synergy with its institutional trading, liquidity, and asset management capabilities.
GSR CEO Xin Song said that capital market services in the crypto industry remain highly fragmented, with new projects often needing to hire separate structural advisors, tokenomics experts, market makers, and listing consultants. This integration aims to provide a one-stop service spanning project creation, token design, fundraising and exchange strategy, to long-term capital planning.
The platform will also provide treasury management solutions for crypto foundations and on-chain organizations, including cash and liquidity planning, cash flow forecasting, risk management, and asset allocation strategies, to help them manage large-scale digital asset reserves.
