Avenir CRYPTO, the digital asset division of Avenir GROUP, brought together top industry leaders in Singapore for its flagship Future Boundless event. The gathering, co-hosted with Deribit, Paradigm, and LTP, focused on the role of advanced technology in tackling key market challenges in the cryptocurrency space, such as liquidity fragmentation and trading inefficiencies.
This event follows the launch of Avenir CRYPTOโs US$500 million Crypto Partnership Program announced in September, which aims to support top-performing quantitative trading teams worldwide. The initiative prioritises financial innovation and the development of cutting-edge technologies to strengthen the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
โThis series reflects Avenir CRYPTO’s commitment to fostering global collaboration and innovation in the rapidly evolving crypto ecosystem,โ said Jason Lan, CEO of Avenir CRYPTO. โWith a committed pool of 200 million USDT, 3,000 Bitcoin, and 50,000 Ethereum, weโve already partnered with top trading teams globally. Our decade of experience and unmatched risk management are the pillars that are driving fintech innovation and paving the way for crypto assets to achieve mainstream adoption.โ
Technological innovation takes centre stage
A highlight of the event was a panel discussion led by William Lin, Quant Trading Specialist at Avenir CRYPTO, which delved into the pressing issues of liquidity fragmentation, latency, and trading inefficiencies in cryptocurrency markets. The panel featured prominent speakers including:
- Anand Gomes, CEO of Paradigm
- Ethan Wang, CEO Hong Kong of LTP
- Jerry Shea, Head of APAC at Chronicle Software
- Robert Ljubicic, a low-latency eTrading expert
The panel addressed the increasing volatility in crypto markets, driven by macroeconomic conditions and Bitcoinโs near all-time high prices. This surge has renewed interest in digital assets but highlighted existing challenges such as fragmented exchanges and scattered liquidity, which create inefficiencies in this 24/7 trading environment.
Ethan Wang, CEO of LTP Hong Kong, stated, โLiquidity profiles serve as the foundation for understanding the dynamics of digital asset markets. Through our extensive work with institutions across diverse digital asset exchanges, weโve observed how critical factors โ such as trading volume, fees, spreads, market depth, and execution latencies โ shape effective trading strategies. As market fragmentation accelerates, leveraging advanced technology and seamless cross-exchange solutions has become indispensable for staying competitive and driving success.โ
Anand Gomes, Co-Founder and CEO of Paradigm, added, โParadigm was born from the need to address the fragmentation in cryptocurrency markets, where accessing liquidity for large and complex trades was a challenge. Each exchange had its own standards, and the market was built from the ground up without any unified approach. Our solution was to create an OTC marketplace where size, price, and immediacy were the key pillars, enabling institutions to access liquidity on-demand with a single click.โ
Luuk Strijers, CEO of Deribit, highlighted the importance of speed and efficiency in crypto trading, stating, โLow-latency processing of large quantities of orders is absolutely critical for options platforms like Deribit. This is why we invest heavily in our state-of-the-art, dedicated hardware setup and best-in-class software solutions, ensuring our systems remain reliable, efficient, and competitive in todayโs fast-paced crypto trading environment.โ
