All eyes have understandably been on the digital asset market's sharp upward trajectory following President Trump's reelection, but another interesting development quietly took place in October: the ETH/BTC pair broke below the key support level of 0.03850, dropping to a multi-year low of 0.03625. Simultaneously, Bitcoin's market cap dominance climbed to a multi-year high of 60.2% and Bitcoin's open interest in perpetual swaps and futures reached a new all-time of $37.8 billion. These developments highlight Bitcoin's accelerated price gains compared to the rest of the market leading into the election. After the US election, the ETH/BTC pair sharply rebounded only to fall back to a new multi-year low of 0.034. While the expectation that we will soon have a more crypto-friendly US government has led to a surge in prices across the entire market over the last week-and-a-half, it's certainly worth keeping an eye on whether we will see continued capital rotation into Bitcoin.

Last week the SEC granted accelerated approval to allow for the trading and listing of options on multiple spot bitcoin ETFs. What will this mean for investors and for bitcoin more broadly? Kbit’s Founder and CEO, Ed Tolson, recently sat down with The Block’s Brian McGleenon to discuss the importance of the introduction of options on spot bitcoin ETFS to the digital asset space, and how he expects retail and institutional investors to leverage these options.

September was a month of steady gains in the crypto market, marked by a range-bound uptrend. Bitcoin led the way with an impressive ~8% rise, even as overall market volumes saw a decrease of about 20%. Key macroeconomic events shaped the month, including the US presidential debate and the Federal Reserve's 50-basis point rate cut, which provided a boost to the markets. Notably, Vice President Harris's remarks on digital assets and blockchain stirred interest, yet had minimal immediate market impact.

We are growing our global team! If you're passionate about quant trading, digital assets, or building robust trading technology that runs 24/7, come join us.
Kbit, a leading crypto hedge fund and high-frequency market maker, is looking to significantly expand its team. Currently, they have around 12 employees but are looking to fill 17 new positions across the US, London, Hong Kong, and Singapore. They’re hiring for roles in quant and algorithmic trading, DevOps, and trade operations engineering – all full-time, on-site positions. Despite describing itself as a “growing” team, Kbit seems poised to more than double its size. Leading the team is founder and CEO Ed Tolson, formerly director of trading technology at Citadel, and CTO/COO Marc Zeitouni, who previously headed global trading systems at Tower Research Capital and served as CTO at Galaxy. In January 2024, Tolson announced that Kbit had over $100 million in assets under management. Tolson’s journey with Kbit started in 2017 as a “side project” during his garden leave, which quickly turned into a thriving business as bitcoin’s price surged. In 2024, they continue to attract top talent. Recently, Thomas J., a former senior quant developer at Citadel Securities, joined as a principal research engineer. In February, Sean Slotterback, previously a PM and head of statistical arbitrage at Tower Research Capital, also joined the team. Their rapid growth and active recruitment highlight its determination to expand and become an important player in the crypto trading industry. #Crypto #HedgeFund #HFT #Hiring #Finance #Engineering #Trading #CareerGrowth

“What sets us apart is our robust experience in TradFi, along with seven years of experience in crypto. We’re not trying to reinvent the wheel, but we have a really in-depth experience and understanding of the way crypto markets work and how to apply well-established TradFi techniques to these markets.” Ed Tolson, Founder and CEO of Kbit, recently sat down with Alternatives Watch’s Hugh Leask to discuss the evolution of the firm and its unique systematic hedge fund strategy, and the tailwinds driving renewed institutional interest in crypto.
