Alameda Research

Alameda Research was once a principal trading firm, operating as an arm of the failed crypto exchange, FTX. They used their internally developed technology and their team’s in-depth crypto knowledge to trade thousands of digital asset products, including all major coins, altcoins, and derivatives. Since 2017, they aimed to build a global team and infrastructure capable of trading on all major exchanges and markets.

Their research, market-neutral algorithms, execution strategies, and trading relationships were designed to generate unique advantages. They aimed to combine their strengths in trading, OTC quoting, and market-making to outperform their competitors. However, Alameda strongly associates with the failed FTX cryptocurrency exchange and its controversial figure, Sam Bankman-Fried, who is currently under criminal investigation. This connection has overshadowed their initial aspirations, impacting their reputation and operations.
