Kbit Quant Fund Captures ETF Market

Where traditional hedge funds run an essential trade to collect money from price discrepancies between, say, an asset and futures, a digital-asset world which Kbit says it never strayed from. Kbit Founder and CEO Ed Tolson stated, “The larger opportunities, higher return opportunities are in the crypto-native markets.”

Kbit uses a market-neutral trading strategy to capture profits from rising and falling prices while reducing overall market risk. It is also a market maker incorporated in the British Virgin Islands.

Performance details are not disclosed because the fund’s details remain confidential with the clients. Tolson says trades involving native crypto instruments, such as buying spot crypto and shorting perpetual swaps, bring more excellent value than traditional methods.

Kbit’s trading approach is all-encompassing, including everything that has volume, creating trading opportunities and inefficiencies. This fund trades in some 500 different tokens, regardless of the fundamentals. Kbit aggressively expanded the team, adding seven new hires this year.
