Green Key offers the opportunity for investors to enter the complex digital asset markets with a group of passionate experts dedicated to delivering premium risk-adjusted returns.
Using quantitative models and cutting-edge technological infrastructure, Green Key invests and trades in digital assets ranging from flagship cryptocurrencies to nascent alternative coins. The firm deploys a variety of direct and derivative strategies across multiple platforms and protocols while actively managing volatility and exposure to mitigate idiosyncratic market risk.

By catering its services to the intelligent investor, Green Key seeks to bridge the gap between the nascent crypto-economy and the traditional wealth management industry, allowing investors to participate in the explosive growth of a new, complex industry in a principled manner.
Quantitative Research & Trading
At Green Key, quantitative research is at the core of our trading decisions. Data-driven predictive modeling facilitates intelligent investment decisions with a strong focus on risk management, while Green Key believes that its deep industry knowledge and experience allow the firm to identify promising new opportunities while avoiding bad actors and security risks. Expertise in machine-learning and statistical analysis equips Green Key to continuously iterate upon these models, driving improvements to stay ahead of industry competitors. Meanwhile, simultaneous assessment of derivative hedging opportunities arms Green Key to hunt for the next revolutionary project in a space flush with both innovative ideas and unscrupulous fraudsters.
High-Frequency Market-Making
Green Key’s low-latency hardware and software infrastructure allow us to compete across platforms using high-frequency algorithmic market-making strategies. Green Key Trading believes that these market-neutral strategies provide an ideal foil to direct investment in digital assets, with the goal of bolstering returns against dramatic price swings while optimizing exposure to the crypto-economy’s extreme volatility. Nevertheless, investors should be aware that inherent in the digital asset market is the risk that an investor could incur substantial, or even total, loss.
Decentralized Finance
Green Key is an active participant in the decentralized finance (“DeFi”) ecosystem, which has consistently offered outsized yields as compared to traditional lending markets. However, DeFi markets often pose heightened risks as compared with traditional fora, including (i) liquidity risks, (ii) technical risks including those related to malfunctioning algorithms, and (iii) the potential for exploitation or hacks due to the open-source nature of many such protocols’ software. Nonetheless, Green Key Trading believes that the open-source nature of these DeFi protocols allows our traders and quantitative developers to identify the projects with the most promising tokenomics and security protections, reducing cybersecurity risk and counterparts exposure without sacrificing access to profitable opportunities.
