Crypto risk management software for digital-asset intermediaries

Safetifi is a risk management platform for firms that sit between clients and venues in digital-asset markets — prime brokers, OTC desks, brokers and exchanges. It measures both sides of every position: the margin, collateral and financing you charge your clients, and the margin, haircuts and fees your counterparties charge you.

Why crypto risk management is a different problem

A digital-asset intermediary does not face one clearing house with one rulebook. It faces a set of venues that each set their own margin schedule, their own haircuts and their own fee ladder, change them without notice, and never close. The same position is priced differently on every venue you hold it on, and the difference between what you charge and what you are charged is the risk you actually carry. Traditional risk systems were not built against that shape, and venue-provided risk screens only ever show you one side of it — theirs.

What the platform measures

Every figure below is computed from a single reconciled, event-sourced book, so counterparty risk, net book, liquidity and value-at-risk agree with each other and with the margin pages rather than being four separate models of the same trade.

  • Counterparty risk — exposure at default, loss given default and wrong-way exposure by client and by venue
  • Net book by underlying, matched-book ratio and basis exposure
  • Value-at-risk — parametric one-day 99%, plus historical replay of COVID, May 2021, LUNA, FTX and August 2024
  • Liquidity — ADV concentration, days-to-exit and square-root market-impact exit cost
  • A safeguard framework of editable limits with live utilisation, breach state and history

Limits that hold, not limits that report

A firm-level limit that spans several venues is usually a number somebody checks, not a control that acts. Safetifi treats a limit as a safeguard: it is evaluated continuously against the live book, it is checked against a hypothetical ticket before that ticket is sent, and a breach becomes an event with an owner and a deadline rather than a red cell in a report nobody opens until the morning.

Deployed in your environment

Single-tenant, inside your VPC or on infrastructure dedicated to your firm, against your own database — PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server or Oracle — and your own identity provider over LDAP, OIDC or SAML. Positions and trades arrive over REST, WebSocket, FIX drop-copy, NATS or SFTP. Your book never has to leave your infrastructure to be measured.

Questions

Crypto risk management: common questions

Software that measures and controls the financial risk a firm carries in digital-asset markets — exposure to counterparties and venues, market risk on the net book, liquidity risk on exit, and the margin and collateral held against it all. For an intermediary specifically, it must measure both sides: what the firm charges its clients and what its venues and counterparties charge the firm.

A venue shows you the margin it charges you. It has no view of what you charge your clients and no view of the other venues you face. Safetifi is built from the intermediary’s seat: both sides of every position, across every venue, in one reconciled book.

No. It is an intelligence and control layer. Orders stay in your OMS and assets stay with your venues and custodians. Safetifi reads your book and your venue terms, computes margin, risk, collateral and financing, and tells you what to do about them.

Positions, clients and your margin configuration. Most firms begin with a read-only feed over REST or SFTP covering a subset of clients, see the two-sided spread on their real book, and widen the connection from there.
