Leveraging Leading Technology
At K33, we prioritize integrating top-tier technology instead of developing everything in-house. This approach allows us to focus on our core strengths: providing exceptional financial services and trading experiences.
Partnership with Liquid Mercury
Our trading platform is powered by Liquid Mercury, a technology provider based in Chicago. Founded by industry veteran Anthony Saliba, Liquid Mercury brings decades of experience in developing institutional trading technology for traditional assets, now applied to the crypto market. This partnership sets a high standard for our trading platform.
Liquid Mercury’s advanced trading infrastructure allows K33 to offer market-leading rates and deep liquidity, ensuring clients receive the best possible prices with minimal slippage for both small and large trades. As a regulated broker audited by the Norwegian Financial Authorities, security is paramount at K33. Liquid Mercury’s technology supports this with robust, institutional-grade security features.
Moreover, Liquid Mercury's technology enables us to provide superior trading APIs. These APIs offer price streaming via WebSocket and support trading over both REST and FIX protocols. This flexibility ensures our clients have access to real-time data and can execute trades using their preferred methods, enhancing their overall trading experience.
Focusing on the Essentials
While our platform currently places greater emphasis on security, reliability, pricing, and liquidity, we are planning improvements to its visual design in the near future. The integration of Liquid Mercury’s technology ensures that we deliver a stable and efficient trading environment, meeting the high standards our clients expect.
By leveraging Liquid Mercury’s technology, K33 combines advanced trading capabilities with our financial expertise to deliver an exceptional brokerage service. We remain dedicated to continually improving our platform, ensuring our clients always have access to the most efficient, secure, and reliable trading environment.
