Wintermute Plans to Invest $1 Billion to Expand into AI and Non-Crypto Markets

TechFlow News, August 13, according to CoinDesk, crypto market maker Wintermute plans to invest approximately $1 billion over the next five years in infrastructure construction for high-frequency trading and artificial intelligence data centers to expand non-crypto market businesses such as stocks, commodities, and foreign exchange.

The company aims for non-crypto market revenue to account for over 50% by 2027; currently, this proportion is only 10%. This move comes against the backdrop of cooling crypto activity, as its daily trading volume has dropped from $15 billion in 2025 to about $10 billion this year. Wintermute stated it will fund this expenditure using retained earnings; the company achieved profitability in 2025 and expects to remain profitable this year.
