[ Who we are ]

Born inside market making. Built to deliver its advantage.

Stelaxis grew out of Alber Blanc, a proprietary trading firm whose systems are built to trade across asset classes and a top-five liquidity provider across major digital asset venues. We turn that live market-making infrastructure into principal pricing and APIs institutions can trade against directly or embed inside their own products.

[ The connection, plainly ]

Stelaxis is the institutional spin-out of Alber Blanc's trading environment.

01 / Operating foundation

Alber Blanc

A proprietary high-frequency trading firm where quantitative research, exchange connectivity, execution systems and production operations are built in-house and tested in live markets.

  • Market microstructure
  • Low-latency engineering
  • Production reliability

02 / Dedicated spin-out

Stelaxis

A separate institutional proposition that takes the relevant infrastructure, people and operating lessons, then packages them around client workflows, controls and relationships.

  • Institutional access
  • Client-grade controls
  • End-to-end workflow

03A / Liquidity

Markets

Electronic and high-touch access to digital asset liquidity through the appropriate Stelaxis group entity or provider.

03C / On-chain

DeFi

The RFQ execution network for institutional on-chain block trades.

Stelaxis is not a white-label trading strategy and Edge is not Alber Blanc's proprietary stack sold as software. The connection is the harder thing to reproduce: years of engineering judgment formed under live-market pressure.

[ Why HFT is our Edge ]

Built from the problems a live trading firm cannot ignore.

Most institutional trading platforms begin with screens and workflows. Our starting point was lower in the stack: market data, connectivity, order state, failure handling and the operational truth after a trade.

01

Connectivity has to behave under pressure

Years spent maintaining direct exchange connections shape how Edge normalises providers, handles state and isolates failures before they become an institutional operations problem.

02

Latency is only useful when the system is correct

Low-latency engineering teaches discipline around deterministic behaviour, observability and recovery. Edge applies that discipline to the full workflow, not only order transmission.

03

Trading and post-trade are one system

A fill is not finished when it leaves the venue. Positions, balances, settlement instructions and reconciled records must retain the same context all the way through.

04

Production is the real specification

Live markets expose edge cases that slide decks do not. Product decisions are informed by practitioners who have operated infrastructure through volatility, venue incidents and continuous markets.

05

The next layer is governed intelligence

Once market, order and post-trade activity share one context, AI can explain exceptions, recommend actions and support automation without bypassing institutional controls.

[ What Stelaxis adds ]

HFT-grade foundations become useful to institutions only when they are made governable.

01

Provider neutrality

Use Stelaxis liquidity, keep existing relationships, or connect both. Edge is designed around the institution's network—not a single venue.

02

Permissions and limits

Turn market access into a controlled service with desk-level permissions, limits and an audit trail at the point of execution.

03

Operational continuity

Carry consistent trade context into settlement, balances, positions and reconciliation instead of rebuilding it between systems.

04

Institutional interfaces

Expose the workflow through APIs and an operator interface so trading teams and internal products can use the same control layer.

[ The people behind Stelaxis ]

A focused team with an HFT firm behind it.

The Stelaxis team brings experience from Wise and Databricks across payments, data infrastructure, strategy and enterprise sales—alongside direct access to Alber Blanc's research, infrastructure and live-market experience.
