The Problem When Trident Trust, a global leader in the fund administration space, first entered crypto in 2017, they had to acquire clients’ crypto transactional data via methods that were cumbersome and unsustainable (i.e., manual input, files, screenshots, etc.). Trident used spreadsheets to apply price and derive the trading activity value. Trident to manually transform the data into a format that was easy to understand by traditional fund accounting systems. The Solution In 2018 Trident became Lukka’s first fund administration customer. Lukka provided Trident with support for fund data collection, account balance calculations, and valuation for crypto-fiat spot trades. The Lukka Enterprise Software assisted Trident with data transformation and delivered standardized reports in a format that is directly loaded into Trident’s accounting system. Lukka now helps Trident support crypto spot transactions, derivative transactions such as options/futures/swaps, lending, and staking activity, as well as transactions occurring on many Ethereum-based DeFi protocols.
