AlphaPoint Corporation
AlphaPoint builds institutional-grade digital asset infrastructure for stablecoins, trading, and liquidity. Covers $1T+ in volume.
AlphaPoint Corporation
AlphaPoint was founded by a team with roots on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, bringing institutional market-structure experience into digital assets. The firm does not disclose a founding year, but its website notes over 12 years of delivering institutional crypto infrastructure and lists offices in Austin, San Francisco, La Libertad (El Salvador), London, New York, and Chicago. The company operates across three product lines—treasury, trading, and liquidity—designed for stablecoins and on-chain assets. Treasury software provides wallet management, approvals, and reporting; trading infrastructure powers regulated exchanges and brokerages; the liquidity product connects venues to institutional order flow. AlphaPoint's website states it has processed over $1 trillion in volume, though the period and methodology are not specified. Confirmed deployments include the Chivo Wallet for the government of El Salvador (per the firm), a partnership with Elevated Returns to tokenize $1B in real estate, and a distributed ledger trial for Scotiabank. It was also selected for Royal Mint Gold, a digital gold platform developed with CME Group. The firm is backed by Galaxy Digital, which led a Series A round; the amount and valuation were not disclosed. Its website lists over a dozen leadership and advisory figures, but team size is not published. Recent activity includes naming Joaquín Ayuso de Paúl as Chief Product Officer and Lauren Nichols as Vice President of Sales in 2025, as well as launching a perpetual futures trading technology for exchanges. AlphaPoint differs from purely venture-backed crypto infrastructure providers by positioning itself as a public-sector and bank-facing operator, with a live national-scale deployment in El Salvador. Its governance model mixes financial-technology leadership with traditional market veterans, including former regulatory and exchange executives, but the firm does not provide audited financial disclosures or a formal organizational chart.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at AlphaPoint?
AlphaPoint is led by CEO Igor Telyatnikov, an industry veteran whose background includes roles at CME Group and Wall Street institutions. The firm's leadership team includes executives with experience in financial technology, exchange operations, and regulatory compliance. Investment and strategy decisions are made by the executive team, though the company does not disclose a formal investment committee.
How does AlphaPoint source proprietary deal flow?
AlphaPoint does not function as an investment firm; it is a technology provider selling infrastructure to institutions. Its client relationships—with governments, banks, exchanges, and fintechs—generate recurring revenue and strategic partnerships, not proprietary investments. The company has executed specific projects such as the Chivo Wallet for El Salvador and tokenization partnerships, but these are product deployments, not investments.
Is AlphaPoint structured as a family office or does it operate more like a venture firm?
AlphaPoint is neither a family office nor a venture firm. It is a private technology company offering digital asset infrastructure. While it has raised venture funding, including a Series A led by Galaxy Digital, its core business is selling software and services to institutional clients, not managing or deploying capital on behalf of LPs.
Does AlphaPoint participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
AlphaPoint does not make fund commitments or direct investments. It acts as an infrastructure provider to institutions that operate digital asset platforms. The firm's revenue comes from software licensing, transaction fees, and service contracts, not from investing.
What investment stages does AlphaPoint typically target?
AlphaPoint does not target investment stages; it serves enterprise clients across all stages of digital asset adoption. Its products are used by startups and governments alike, from early-stage fintechs to national financial systems.
Which sectors does AlphaPoint explicitly avoid?
AlphaPoint does not publicly state any sectors it avoids. Its focus is on digital asset infrastructure, but it has worked with clients in banking, fintech, payments, government, and tokenized real estate. The company has no disclosed prohibitions on industry verticals.
How is AlphaPoint related to Galaxy Digital?
Galaxy Digital, the crypto financial services firm founded by Michael Novogratz, led AlphaPoint's Series A investment round. The relationship provides AlphaPoint with capital and strategic backing, but AlphaPoint operates independently. The two companies are not subsidiaries of one another.
