Sequence Markets
Sequence Markets is a New York and Toronto based trading-infrastructure startup (Y Combinator W26) that lets traders execute a single view across fragmented crypto venues - centralized exchanges, decentralized exchanges, perps, prediction markets, and tokenized assets - from one system. Its venue-neutral smart order router sits on proprietary low-latency infrastructure (roughly 2 microseconds internal latency, network paths up to 2.5x faster than the public internet) to find better prices and cut slippage, with access via terminal, API, SDK, and MCP for human traders, algorithmic systems, and AI agents.
