The collaboration will allow LTP Spain to scale its operations, improve execution efficiency, and broaden its service capabilities to institutional clients across Europe and beyond.

As part of the acquisition, Leopoldo Moreno de la Cova Ybarra, will assume the role of Head of LTP Spain. His leadership and deep knowledge of the European digital asset market will be instrumental in driving LTP Spain's expansion in the region. Jorge Schnura will continue to advise LTP Spain.

The partnership seeks to bridge the gap between traditional finance and digital assets, fostering innovation while ensuring compliance with the latest European regulatory standards. By integrating LTP Spain's local expertise with LTP's global infrastructure, the two firms aim to create a more secure, transparent, and efficient trading environment for institutional investors.
