Bequant, a digital asset services firm, has unveiled a new capital introduction platform tailored for crypto hedge funds and high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs). This innovative platform will leverage Bequant’s prime brokerage services to facilitate capital allocation to traders in conjunction with investors utilizing the platform.
Designed specifically for crypto hedge funds and asset allocators such as fund of funds, family offices, and HNWIs, the platform aims to enhance the investment landscape within the crypto trading community. Bequant’s prime brokerage services, traditionally offered by investment banks, wealth management firms, and securities dealers, provide hedge funds with the necessary tools to borrow securities and cash, thus enabling them to achieve absolute returns on their investments.
George Zarya, CEO and founder of Bequant, emphasized the company’s ambition to leverage their established software and network within the crypto trading community to reach new industry milestones. The launch of this capital introduction platform marks a strategic pivot for Bequant, reinforcing its dedication to supporting funds throughout all stages of the asset management business.
In collaboration with Fireblocks, Bequant has developed systems to manage assets across various liquidity pools, including 15 centralized exchanges, over 30 decentralized exchanges (DEXes), and more than a dozen OTC liquidity providers. This partnership with Fireblocks enables Bequant clients to lock their assets into DeFi smart contracts, granting access to liquidity currently valued at over $72.5 billion within DeFi.
The capital introduction platform has already garnered positive feedback from industry professionals. Ron Akram, co-founder and co-managing principal of Isla Capital hedge fund, and Chana Kanzen from the Digital Wealth Fund, have both praised the platform. Kanzen highlighted the opportunity to connect with traditional finance sector representatives interested in crypto opportunities, while Akram commended Bequant for successfully bringing together serious managers and allocators.
The launch of this platform underscores Bequant’s commitment to driving innovation and growth in the crypto hedge fund space, providing valuable resources and connections for investors and fund managers alike.
