Algorand's Amar Odedra Sees 24/7 Liquidity as Key to Bridging Asian and Western Markets

The Algorand Foundation has partnered with Flow Traders to provide continuous institutional liquidity for ALGO, the native asset of the Algorand blockchain.

This move aims to address a structural mismatch in global finance, where blockchain markets operate around the clock while most equities and bonds remain tied to conventional trading hours.

Amar Odedra, Chief Commercial Officer of the Algorand Foundation, emphasized that liquidity alone will not bring tokenized finance into the institutional mainstream. Regulatory clarity, qualified custody, real-time compliance, enforceable settlement, and cross-chain interoperability must develop alongside it.

Continuous onchain liquidity could help position Asia as a bridge between Asian and Western trading sessions, attracting global capital beyond local trading hours.
