Velotrade Expands API Access Across All Funded Crypto Trading Accounts
HONG KONG - May 20, 2026 - Velotrade, the Hong Kong-based crypto proprietary trading firm established by former institutional derivatives professionals from JPMorgan Chase & Co., Bank of America, and Dresdner Kleinwort, has officially introduced full API connectivity for all funded trading accounts on its platform.
The launch gives traders direct programmatic access from the evaluation stage through fully funded accounts, allowing users to integrate automated systems, execution tools, and quantitative trading strategies into the Velotrade ecosystem without additional approval requirements or platform restrictions.
According to the company, the rollout reflects its broader focus on building a trader-first crypto proprietary trading environment based on infrastructure commonly associated with institutional trading firms.
Through the API, traders can now:
• Execute, modify, and cancel orders programmatically
• Stream live account and market data through WebSocket connectivity
• Deploy algorithmic and quantitative trading systems
• Integrate external trading signals and automated execution workflows
• Build portfolio monitoring and multi-account management systems
Unlike many crypto prop firms that restrict automated trading activity, Velotrade stated that algorithmic and systematic trading have been supported since launch. The company says the API formalizes that philosophy by giving traders unrestricted access to the same core infrastructure used internally for professional trading operations.
"Our business model is based on identifying talented traders and providing them with the capital and infrastructure they need to scale," said Gianluca Pizzituti, CEO and Co-Founder of Velotrade. "Providing institutional-grade API access is a natural extension of that approach."
Pizzituti previously worked on the equity derivatives desk at Dresdner Kleinwort in London before later founding a proprietary high-frequency trading firm focused on FX and equity index markets in Singapore. He later established Velotrade in Hong Kong, where the company's original trade finance business surpassed USD 2.5 billion in global disbursements before expanding into crypto proprietary trading in 2026.
Velotrade noted that automated trading activity remains subject to the same account rules applied to manual trading, including maximum drawdown and daily risk limits. Traders using API integrations are expected to manage their systems accordingly to remain compliant with platform requirements.
The company says the API rollout aligns with several trader-focused features already integrated into the Velotrade model, including:
• No consistency rules
• No weekend holding restrictions
• No news trading bans
• Crypto-focused risk parameters
• Payout processing within 24 hours in USDC or USDT
"We're seeing growing demand from traders running systematic strategies, execution algorithms, and external trading models," said Vittorio De Angelis, Executive Chairman of Velotrade. "Opening full API functionality removes operational barriers between traders and funded capital."
De Angelis previously held senior capital markets and derivatives positions at JPMorgan Chase & Co., Bank of America, and Dresdner Kleinwort before moving into fintech and alternative lending sectors.
