In 2022, the bankruptcies of FTX and Alameda Research, along with Binance’s $4.3 billion settlement with U.S. regulators, had severely shaken confidence in the sector. As a result, Tower Research Capital had scaled back its crypto operations.

Tower Research Capital’s renewed commitment signals that Bitcoin and other digital assets are once again attracting institutional attention. The company’s enhanced role as a liquidity provider and increased market presence is seen as an encouraging development for the future of the crypto market.
