They're going to give new tools to institutional traders. Co-location, FIX market data, lending & margin financing products, professional crypto secure storage ('coinbase custody') etc. etc. They'll be faster than non-institutions and have trading options unavailable to the rest of us.

How can I contact you? ;) Not at hft but also ran a fast bot.
If you're the fastest and you don't make > $XXk a month then why would an institutional client pay $XXk per month for better access?
I don't have access to capital so I can't scale to $XXk a month.
Get your track record audited and then shop yourself to Chicago prop firms. If things look robust, you should have no problem getting capital on a profit split.

"Little guys" are the products, rather than the consumers, on those platforms. This is already true to a large extent and will be true in larger and larger proportions. DRW, Jump Trading, Hudson River Trading, State Street and Virtu are all active on cryptomarkets.
It's an interesting idea. I guess is an institution is going to take on crypto exposure they'll need all the trimmings including real-time market data in order to properly manage their exposure. But beyond the basic risk management... there's not much actual trading going on, is there? What drives the need for low latency? The crypto space has fewer assets than the actual real-currency FOREX market and it's not driven by real economic data, right? The only real "strategy" is momentum trading, right? It's just not clear what low-latency is buying you here.

Bold claim, and funnily enough, you are the 3rd or 4th team I've run into this week that claim to be the fastest trading system on GDAX. The Consensus conference brings out these kind of conversations:) What are you basing your claim off of, I've seen some pretty impressive use of C++ and one team that is starting to burn simple strategies into FPGA's. What sort of time from network stack to network stack are you con…

What does low latency buy you in crypto trading? What sort of strategies are people running that requires low latency?
I think the good thing about the crypto currency trading world is that everyone have more or less the same access as everyone else on the current exchanges (at least on GDAX).
It would be great with more exchanges to fill the gap between the exchanges that wants to be 'traditional' (GDAX) and the ones who cannot be trusted (Maybe Bitfinex?)

the simplest is to monitor prices on multiple exchanges and buy/sell depending on fluctuations.
They have developed a reputation for having poor, unresponsive consumer support. Try doing a twitter search for @coinbasesupport. At any given time, it's a horror show. I personally discovered this after a time sensitive transaction took about 48 hours to complete because of a buggy deploy on their end. The only reason it didn't take longer was because I was able to track down a coinbase support employee on the bitco…
Same. They accidentally repeated a buy I'd made 5 or so times-- and it took almost a month for the coins to appear in my account. I ended up making a couple bucks off the deal. But I can't help but think how badly it could have gone.
Official Coinbase support is non existent in my experience. There are people on the Coinbase Reddit page https://www.reddit.com/r/CoinBase/ who seem to be able to move things along if you aren't getting any support from Coinbase.
Hyperbitcoinization incoming! In all seriousness, the attention from institutions, growing maturity of custodial solutions and good monetary policy are colliding. Nocoiners, watch out!
Can't wait for btc to be offered as collateral on debt. Will slaughter the retail investor like pets.com
