Bitfire Group OTC Desk Volume Surges to $100 Million
A 257% month-over-month spike in trading activity pushed Bitfire Group’s over-the-counter desk past the $100 million threshold in July. The Hong Kong-listed digital asset custodian is reporting record-breaking momentum, signaling a sharp rise in institutional appetite for secure, regulated gateways into the cryptocurrency market.

The firm’s subsidiary, Bitfire Trust, maintained consistent growth throughout July, with weekly trading volumes outperforming June figures. This expansion aligns with a rapid increase in the company’s user base, which has surged to 760 active clients—a 46.5-fold increase. Furthermore, the company reports a pipeline of 1,644 prospective accounts, suggesting continued demand from high-net-worth individuals and listed entities.
CEO Livio Weng attributed the performance to a strategic shift in the company’s business model over the past year. By pivoting toward private banking-level services, Bitfire has integrated custody, asset management, and structured products into a single institutional ecosystem. As a regulated entity on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the group currently leverages its compliance status to provide deep liquidity and tailored execution for large-volume trades in a sector often characterized by volatility.
