Kronos Research

We are a quantitative trading firm that uses proprietary machine intelligence, research, and machine-learning techniques to improve liquidity and trading performance in digital asset markets. Our work covers four main areas:

• High-Frequency Trading (HFT), primarily focused on cryptocurrency trading.
• Market-making, where we provide liquidity across both centralized (CeFi) and decentralized (DeFi) finance solutions.
• Asset Management, offering services for institutions and brokers across various asset classes.
• Ventures, where we invest in high-growth projects and offer our expertise.

We also provide market liquidity for protocol tokens and exchanges, manage capital for investors using our trading strategies and structured products, offer systematic OTC liquidity for major digital assets, and make venture investments in digital asset companies.

Founded in 2018, we operate across more than 40 exchanges, handling an average daily trading volume of $5 billion and a peak single-day trading volume of $23 billion. Our employees are located in Singapore, the United States, Romania, and Shanghai, with our origins in Taiwan. We have between 51-200 employees.

Our core principles guide how we operate:

• Meritocracy: We value the best ideas and outcomes, prioritizing impact over titles, tenure, or ego.
• Urgency: We act quickly to seize fleeting market opportunities, knowing that markets move fast.
• Team-first: We foster an environment where team members debate openly, align quickly, and build together, sharing ownership and outcomes.
• Integrity: We commit to acting with integrity, prioritizing long-term trust over short-term gain, and upholding transparency, truth, and ethics.
• Innovation: We encourage new ideas, challenge past assumptions, and take a contrarian approach based on logic and experience. We learn from obstacles to make consistent progress.

We maintain an open culture and a flat organizational structure. We value each team member’s contribution and encourage them to make an impact. Our work environment offers flexibility, clear goals, and support for individual growth, allowing us to explore our interests.

Our team consists of quants, engineers, and technologists across multiple regions. Our leadership team includes a Chief Investment Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Technology Officer, and Director of Quantitative Research. We seek to attract talented individuals to build a diverse team for quantitative trading.

We offer several employee benefits:

• Resources and support to help us build an inclusive culture and grow professionally.
• Hybrid working, with flexible arrangements depending on the role and location.
