BlockTech is a crypto-native algorithmic trading firm that trades digital-asset derivatives and spot markets using its own capital. Founded in 2018 and self-funded, the firm provides liquidity across global venues around the clock, pricing positions on fundamentals rather than on external order flow. Its work spans quantitative finance, mathematical modeling, derivatives pricing and low-latency systems, alongside the data engineering required to run continuous trading operations.
The firm began by trading altcoins before pivoting to a narrower focus on quoting Bitcoin options, its initial dedicated strategy. It now runs proprietary algorithmic trading across both derivatives and spot markets, with the stated aim of providing seamless execution for traders worldwide. Operations run 24/7 across global venues from two offices, in Amsterdam and Singapore, and the business has grown from a single trading desk into a larger operation.
BlockTech describes itself as designed by traders and built by engineers, with traders, quants, researchers and engineers working in close proximity. It was started by two entrepreneurs and states that its edge rests on data, latency and precision. The company cites technical work in algorithmic trading, market making and liquidity provision among its core domains.
