[ Who we are ]

Built on Alber Blanc's trading heritage.

Stelaxis grew out of Alber Blanc, a proprietary trading firm whose systems are built to trade across asset classes. We bring that experience to two products: Markets, where eligible institutions trade digital assets directly with us as principal, at prices powered by Alber Blanc; and Edge, software to run a trading operation across the providers an institution already uses.

[ 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 institutional workflows, controls and relationships.

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

03A / Principal trading

Markets

Spot, derivatives and stablecoin ↔ fiat traded with Stelaxis as principal, with onboarding and legal arrangements provided by authorised partners where applicable.

03B / Software

Edge

One platform to run your trading operation across the providers you already use, with AI agents on the roadmap.

Stelaxis prices are powered by Alber Blanc's technology and trading team, while Stelaxis is your counterparty. Edge is Stelaxis's own software, 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 trading heritage matters ]

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 AI layer needs market judgment

Shared market, order and post-trade context is the foundation for the AI agents on the Edge roadmap: systems that reason about institutional objectives and coordinate work within a defined mandate.

[ What Stelaxis adds ]

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

01

Provider neutrality

Trade with Stelaxis, keep your existing relationships, or both. Edge is designed around the institution's network, not a single venue.

02

Permissions and limits

Put desk-level permissions, limits and an audit trail around market access, at the point of trading.

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.
