What is Alameda Research?

Alameda Research is an investment fund established in October 2017. They manage over $1B of digital assets and have a trading volume of around $1B- $10B per day on thousands of support, from BTC to other Altcoins. Alameda Research has a global reach with the ability to trade on all major exchanges and markets.

Alameda is also one of the few full-service companies for projects. One is to become a Market Maker, which provides liquidity to about 35 of today’s leading brokers. Or OTC with low arbitrage, high liquidity,… for any asset listed on the exchange.

Prominent Alameda Research Members

Sam Bankman – Fried – CEO of Alameda Research

Sam Bankman – Fried (SBF) is one of the most influential people in the current Crypto market. SBF is also the CEO of FTX – the broker with an incredible level of growth, as well as a reputation for Futures.

In Hurun’s report, SBF is the second richest person in the Crypto market, behind only Brian Armstrong – Co-Founder and Coinbase CEO. Sam was also on the Forbes 30 Under 30 list in 2021.

On Twitter, SBF showed itself not only as a Builder but also as contributing information to the community a lot. SBF is famous for 10 – 20 Tweetstorms on Crypto issues.

However, for some reason, the current Alameda Research team list is no longer SBF’s name. The high likelihood is only to redistribute roles within the Alameda group and FTX. But anyway, when it comes to Alameda, the first person in the community to think about it is Sam Bankman-Fried.

Sam Trabucco – Co-CEO of Alameda Research

Sam Trabucco used to be a trader in SIG corporate bonds and ETF certificates. He graduated from MIT in 2015 with a degree in mathematics and computer science. Sam is one of the very active people on Twitter, and Sam’s Tweets often benefit the community.
