Skynet Trading’s mission is to provide market-making and liquidity services for digital assets, and to develop advanced retainer market-making software products for institutional clients. Since its founding, Skynet’s token loan desk has served as a high-performance engine enabling token projects to access structured capital solutions and enhanced trading support in the crypto ecosystem.
Da Vinci Trading, a global proprietary trading firm headquartered in Europe, acquired Skynet’s token loan desk to accelerate its expansion into digital assets and complement its full suite of market-making and OTC activities. This strategic acquisition strengthens Da Vinci’s liquidity provisioning capabilities for token projects and further advances its leadership position in the digital assets market.
Areta acted as the exclusive financial advisor to Skynet Trading, guiding the company throughout the sale process, managing strategic acquirer engagement, and structuring a competitive process designed to maximise strategic alignment and shareholder value.
