Sage Capital Management

The primary activity of Sage Capital Management is to provide an integrated financial infrastructure for digital and traditional asset markets, aimed primarily at institutions. The company offers a unified platform that brings together banking (multi-currency accounts, payments, treasury management), markets (execution of spot, derivatives and OTC transactions on digital assets), capital (centralized access to credit, margin and yield products), as well as an institutional technology platform for trading, risk management, treasury and real-time reporting.

The products and services are aimed at an institutional market: hedge funds, asset managers, trading firms, market makers, liquidity providers, corporates, treasuries, fintechs, payment institutions and family offices. Sage Capital aims to eliminate the fragmentation of financial services for these players by enabling them to operate smoothly and securely across fiat and digital markets via a single compliant, integrated environment.

Sage Capital Management was founded in 2015 by Nathan Sage, former Global Head of Analytics and partner at a leading consulting firm. The company began in the crypto markets, specializing in algorithmic trading thanks to strong analytical expertise. During its first three years, Sage Capital quickly established itself as a leading player, investing in cutting-edge technologies and recruiting industry talent to strengthen its trading capabilities.

In 2019, the company disrupted market norms by making its institutional-grade algorithms accessible to the general public. In just six weeks, its solutions were adopted in 75 countries, with trading volumes exceeding one billion dollars per day.

Faced with reliance on costly and unreliable brokerage services, Sage Capital made the strategic decision to create its own digital brokerage infrastructure. This enabled the company to develop robust technology and establish direct partnerships with major market makers and clearing houses, facilitating the management of borrowing and the execution of long and short positions in crypto markets.

Until 2023, Sage Capital processed billions of dollars in transactions, offering its clients reliable, low-latency services with deep liquidity and minimal slippage. This integration significantly reduced costs and provided better control over pricing.

Today, Sage Capital offers an integrated financial system bringing together liquidity providers, lenders, settlement services, banks, and custody solutions. The company thus provides digital asset professionals with a unified platform for banking, markets, and capital, enabling efficient and secure management of operations in both fiat and crypto markets.

The key milestones in its development include:

• 2015: Company founded and launched into crypto algorithmic trading.
• 2016-2018: Investment in technology and recruitment of talent to strengthen trading capabilities.
• 2019: Opening of institutional algorithms to the global public, rapid growth in trading volumes.
• 2020: Creation of its own digital brokerage infrastructure to address the limitations of external brokers.
• 2023: Management of billions of dollars in transactions, optimization of operational efficiency, and cost reduction.
• 2024 and beyond: Offering an integrated financial system for institutions operating in traditional and digital markets.
