Capital management & quantitative crypto trading
About OSF
OSF is a capital management company that develops software driven quantitative arbitrage strategies and execution tooling. We specialize in liquid cryptocurrencies and macro markets. Our software systems power hedge funds to exceptional risk adjusted returns, tight execution over the counter trading, and performance driven secured lending and market making. We are a team of early bitcoin adopters with seasoned experience in financial markets and real time software engineering. We have traded over $2 billion dollars worth of crypto assets in the last year and hold strong relationships with top banks, deliverable fx, and crypto exchanges.
Our Strategies
Arbitrage
Our systems conduct high-frequency pure arbitrage across varying exchanges and complex products. This includes multi instrument execution paths, including capturing mispriced options, swaps, futures, and spreads. We have high grade execution and risk management to ensure exposures are neutralized and converged opportunities are automatically unwound.
OTC
We handle deliverable block trades, supporting all major foreign currencies with top rate execution and fast settlements. We provide a 24/7 chat bot driven environment built and operated by our partner FRNT Financial for all clients, in addition to institutionally targeted daily research notes.
Lending
We provide automated lending services for your crypto assets, allowing you to generate a yield even while sitting on your investment. Instead of sending us funds and making us a custodian, we help you create a private account on a supported major exchange where we get limited, non custodial access to securely lend your assets.
Market making
We market make derivatives with liquid underlying markets, providing liquidity across regulatory regimes. Our systems can make markets for exotic and complex trades, including futures spreads, synthetic long and shorts, composite indices and foreign currency swaps and futures.
Hedging
We can help your firm manage exposures in a cost efficient manner, with limited capital requirements. For those looking to neutralize foreign currency or crypto currency receivables we can help design and provide hedges so exposures match your desired outcomes.
Our Advantages
Operating in all crypto markets
We are strategically located in regions with favorable but strong regulations to give us secure access to the entire global crypto market. This opens opportunities caused by liquidity fragmentation, allowing us to build bridges between otherwise disparate markets and provide uniquely higher quality offerings to onshore players.
Exchange partnerships
We only work with a small set of the top exchanges that we have transparent and long standing relationships with. This allows us to focus and optimize risk, settlements and high-volume tier privileges, benefits which we can pass on to our clients and partners.
Engineering excellence
We are a team with a unique set of experience in real time data systems, crypto finance, machine learning and big data. We keep a low human footprint, and scale wherever possible using software and automation.
FX at our core
We support fast deliverable settlement in all major currencies with low fees. Our team has a long history of experience in institutional FX for synthetic and deliverable markets. We can service real-time pricing for any crypto assets and settle in global cash markets in short order. We can also provide institutional level execution for synthetic hedges.
