About Volven AS and Volven Broker AS

Volven AS is an innovative company that provides high-quality technology solutions for digital currency trading to financial institutions, brokers, OTC desks, and institutional traders. Perfecting this technology, which would have cost tens of millions of euros and significant time for other companies to develop in-house, has taken seven years. Now, Volven AS is ready to bring its unique solution to market. Volven Broker AS is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Volven AS and will be utilising Volven AS’ highly sophisticated trading platform in its customer offering.  

Founded by Filip Berg-Nielsen, a 25-year veteran of stock trading and one of Norway’s leading market makers on the Oslo Stock Exchange, Volven AS integrates real-world trading challenges into its platform. This method lowers trading fees dramatically, offers faster executions, and eliminates pointless middlemen. Because of its architecture, companies and people with limited trading experience can still utilize the platform efficiently.

Key achievements include:

  • Bringing in its first institutional customers and demonstrating the worth and profitability of Volven’s offering.

  • A digital currency license authorized by Finanstilsynet that gives customers access to Volven AS’s global digital asset market, through Volven Broker AS.

  • Completing development of a completely functional trading terminal prepared for quick deployment.

  • Successfully raising 100 million NOK in previous funding rounds.


Designed for Global Expansion

Now that significant interest from both domestic and foreign investment groups has been expressed, Volven AS is well-positioned to establish itself globally. Although takeover bids have been explored, the company’s primary focus is on expansion and international growth, which is fueled by customer contracts that generate predictable, recurring revenue.

According to Berg-Nielsen, “Our platform is designed to satisfy the needs of our high-value clients.” Berg-Nielsen continues, “We are now well-positioned to become a leader in the virtual currency trading space, offering solutions that maximise efficiency, profitability, and ease of use.”
