GSR, a crypto trading and investment firm, recently acquired consulting firms Autonomous and Architech for $57 million. The move aims to expand its services for tokenized projects by integrating launch support, financial management, and capital markets infrastructure onto a single platform.
This acquisition combines Autonomous's operational and financial services for token launches with Architech's expertise in token design and liquidity strategies, forming an organic part of GSR's existing trading, market-making, and asset management businesses.
Architech, founded in 2024, has advised on multiple token launches with a combined peak fully diluted valuation exceeding $10 billion. Autonomous provides financial management, treasury operations, and coordination with exchanges, custodians, and market makers.
Autonomous will continue to operate under its existing brand within GSR, while Architech will be integrated into a new digital asset advisory unit.
