— Overview

Amber Group is one of the largest crypto prime brokers globally, providing OTC trading, derivatives, structured products, and yield services to more than 2,000 institutional clients across Asia, Europe, and the Americas.

The company operates as a full-service counterparty for institutional flow — market making across 100+ venues, principal trading, and structured products tailored to hedge fund and treasury desk requirements.

Amber's post-2022 restructuring under a new corporate structure has since driven consistent quarterly profitability and rebuilt trust with counterparties across all major markets.
