TALOS: INSTITUTIONAL FABRIC FOR THE DIGITAL ASSET MARKET Founded in 2018, Talos https://www.talos.com provides institutional-grade trading technology for the global digital asset market, powering many of the major players in the crypto ecosystem. Our mission is clear: to advance the mass adoption of digital assets by seamlessly connecting institutions to the digital asset ecosystem. We are committed to building the most innovative and trusted platform in the world, supporting the entire trading lifecycle. At Talos, you’ll find an environment that champions kindness and respect, values diverse perspectives, and upholds inclusivity at every turn. We believe every member of our team brings invaluable insights and abilities that drive Talos forward. In our pursuit of excellence, we foster a culture of trust, integrity, collaboration, and mutual growth. We are a tight-knit yet globally distributed team of highly experienced engineers and business leaders, with hubs in New York, London, Singapore, and Cyprus. Whether in-office or remote, you’ll be part of a hybrid-friendly environment where your unique talents and insights will play a crucial role in building something extraordinary. p(X) provides aggregated, institutional-grade digital asset liquidity through a curated network of global trading venues. In today's highly fragmented market, counterparties that trade directly with p(X) gain access to deep, diversified liquidity while simplifying execution and settlement. This eliminates the operational burden of establishing and maintaining separate relationships with multiple liquidity providers while at the same time allowing for superior execution quality. p(X) operates as an independent business unit, separate from the Talos Platform business, governed by its own AML, compliance, risk management, and operational frameworks designed to meet the requirements of a regulated trading and liquidity provisioning business. As a distinct legal entity, p(X) maintains its own balance sheet, counterparty onboarding processes, governance structure, and Board of Directors. While p(X) leverages certain shared corporate services — including Legal, Compliance, Finance, and Information Security — it operates independently from Talos, with its own management and staff, in all core commercial and operational activities.
