Overview

Sequence Markets is a 2026-founded Y Combinator Winter 2026 financial-services startup building a unified, low-latency execution layer for fragmented digital-asset markets. It connects exchanges, on-chain venues, prediction markets and tokenized-asset venues so a trader can express one market view as one routed trade.

Primary product

Institutional trading OS / execution kernel: unified venue connectivity, market data, smart order routing, multi-leg execution graphs, execution analytics, and edge-deployed algorithms, accessible through REST API, Python and Rust SDKs, CLI, terminal and MCP.

Differentiators

—One execution workflow across CEXs, DEXs, perps, prediction markets and tokenized assets
—Smart order routing that evaluates price, fees, depth and latency and can split orders across venues
—Reported roughly 2-microsecond internal latency and up to 2.5x faster benchmark network paths than public-internet routes
—Non-custodial design: users retain control of assets and Sequence routes trades
—Rust/WASM edge algorithms and cross-region mesh for latency-sensitive strategies
—Unified execution graphs for multi-leg hedges, risk policies and conditional workflows
—API, SDK, terminal, CLI and MCP access for humans, algos and AI agents
