677 Financial Group

What 677 Financial Group does

677 Financial Group (677FG) is a privately held institutional digital asset trading firm founded in 2021 by Stephen Mettler and Senad Prusac, both former FX derivatives traders whose Swiss Bank O'Connor market-maker badge clearing number (677) inspired the firm's name. The company provides principal-based liquidity in global spot and options cryptocurrency markets to the most sophisticated institutional counterparties in the industry, alongside specialized liquidity provision agreements for nascent tokens and protocols, and strategic advisory services covering Real World Asset (RWA) Tokenization and Treasury Management. Its stated differentiation is a 'hybrid model' that integrates traditional finance proprietary trading and risk management techniques with high-frequency cryptocurrency trading styles, delivered by a leadership team carrying 225+ cumulative years of trading and financial management experience from Morgan Stanley, UBS, Bank of America, Blackstone, Nuveen, Ripple, Amber Group, and other institutions.

The firm operates a global 24/7/365 trading model with offices in Stamford, Reykjavik, and Hong Kong, supported by a team combining sales, trading, and middle-office specialists. Its three product lines — OTC Market Making, Liquidity Provision, and Investment Management/Strategic Advisory — are tightly integrated around the firm's vantage point in the tokenization value chain. Revenue is generated primarily through trading spreads and transaction fees on principal positions, supplemented by advisory fees and proprietary capital investment returns; pricing is not publicly disclosed and all distribution is conducted through direct institutional relationships rather than intermediaries or retail channels.

677FG does not have disclosed external institutional investors, parent entities, or funding rounds; ownership commentary indicates a founder-led, self-capitalized structure. The company has no disclosed AI/ML research output, patents, regulatory actions, or third-party benchmarked performance metrics. Its principal commercial dependencies are a narrow set of large institutional counterparties and token-launch partners, with only one customer logo (NatGold Digital Ltd.) publicly named at the time of available data.
