Chris Soriano, CCO and co-founder of Bridgeport, introduces the company as a crypto trading infrastructure provider for institutions. Bridgeport acts as a secure messaging layer—similar to what Plaid does for banking—connecting exchanges and custodians so trading firms no longer need to pre-fund multiple venues. Firms can trade while keeping assets safe with their chosen custodians. Bridgeport never touches assets, focusing purely on communication between platforms. Though not a regulated entity, it meets institutional-grade compliance standards like SOC, positioning itself as essential infrastructure for modern crypto trading.
