Abstract

Quantitative AI trading platform AlphaNet has raised $10 million in a seed funding round led by Joffre Capital, with participation from Huashan Capital and an Asia-based quantitative trading consortium. The platform, which is preparing for a public launch, aims to level the playing field for retail investors by providing end-to-end automated trading access to institutional-grade quantitative strategies. Its offerings include a strategy marketplace, one-click deployment, and proprietary execution algorithms. Incubated by prop trading firm Tensor Investment, AlphaNet currently features over 30 strategies and plans to open its platform to other quant teams by the end of Q2. The funding brings operational expertise from Joffre Capital, scaling resources from Huashan, and additional strategies from the consortium.

Institutional-grade quantitative AI trading platform AlphaNet has announced a $10M Seed Round led by private equity firm Joffre Capital and joined by venture capital firm Huashan Capital and an Asia-based quantitative trading consortium. This marks the platform’s preparation for a public launch moving out of invitation-based whitelist only mode.

Evolving the Retail Trading Paradigm

With the proliferation of perp DEXs, RWAs, and prediction markets, financialization of instruments and choice of trading venues has reached an all time high. As markets are becoming increasingly efficient, and adversarial players more diverse as well as institutional, retail investors’ trading edge is being increasingly eroded. AlphaNet has built a platform that aims to level the playing field, by providing users end-to-end automated trading from a collection of institutional-grade alpha sources at their disposal.

End-to-End Platform for Systematic Alpha Generation

AlphaNet focuses on providing users “systematic” alpha – sources of superior risk-adjusted return for users that can be measured, tracked, and assessed quantitatively over time. The main offering is a SOTA end-to-end platform that includes an institutional-grade quantitative strategy marketplace, one-click strategy deployment, seamless execution via proprietary trading algorithms, and tools to manage and track and tweak the users’ own strategy-mix in real time.

Incubated by Asia prop trading firm Tensor Investment, AlphaNet is the only platform that combines deep learning-based strategies, low-latency execution algos, AI compute for training and inference, and liquidity via a DEX-based protocol in one seamless turnkey solution. The platform does the heavy lifting and the users get to access proprietary alpha that was previously only available to institutional investors.

Open Platform and Agentic Future

AlphaNet currently has over 30 high-Sharpe strategies and a user retention rate of over 98%. All of the strategies are currently provided by Tensor, but towards the end of Q2 the Open Platform is expected to launch, enabling other prop trading teams to integrate their quant strategies and alphas. All strategies on the platform require undergoing AlphaNet’s proprietary robustness testing and alpha decay mitigation framework before being allowed to be live on the platform, and will leverage AlphaNet’s shared trading execution and inference infrastructure.

By the end of Q2, 100+ strategies are expected to be on AlphaNet, and a novel agentic system for personalized strategy selection and deployment is currently being developed to help users navigate through the myriad of alphas and automate deployment and monitoring.

Experience, Resources, and Alignment via Capital

Through this funding round, AlphaNet benefits from the operational expertise of Joffre Capital, whose multibillion dollar portfolio include private and public companies with the likes of Investing.com, Grindr, and Coins.ph (Southeast Asia’s biggest crypto exchange). Huashan Capital, early investor of companies such as Airwallex, AI Rudder, and Moonshot.ai (Kimi) helps bring expertise and resources in scaling of tech platforms and fundraising.

And finally, the quantitative trading consortium brings proprietary strategies, compute resources, and algorithms to AlphaNet’s offerings to help it grow as the first institutional-grade end-to-end open alpha platform.

About AlphaNet

AlphaNet is a SOTA quantitative AI trading platform that provides users institutional-grade alpha, proprietary algo execution, and automated trading in one seamless end-to-end solution.

Misjudged A-Shares: Resilience, Expectations, and Confidence

China's A-share market recently faced selling pressure, especially in tech sectors, initially triggered by a global tech sell-off that began in South Korea. However, the article argues this is a case of "mistaken injury" and highlights the market's underlying resilience. This resilience stems from three main pillars: **1) Tech Sector Fundamentals:** Unlike Korea's market dominated by a few memory chip stocks, China's tech sector is diversified across computing, communications, electronics, and semiconductors, supported by dual narratives of global AI supply chains and domestic substitution. Core areas like optical modules and fiber optics continue to show strong earnings growth. **2) "National Team" Support:** State-backed institutions and large corporations have made significant market purchases and announced buybacks, providing liquidity and signaling confidence. This is seen as a stabilizing policy signal, often associated with market bottoms. **3) Broader Market Pillars:** Other major sectors are showing endogenous recovery momentum. Consumer stocks benefit from stabilizing CPI and signs of sector recovery (e.g., liquor price hikes). Cyclical sectors like aluminum have high earnings, potential price increases due to tight supply, and low valuations. The financial sector offers stable dividends and low valuations. The conclusion is that the sell-off was driven by external contagion, not a collapse in fundamentals. With strong policy support and recovering momentum across key sectors, the A-share market possesses the toughness to regain stability.

Quantum Computers Haven't Arrived Yet, but Satoshi's 1.1 Million Bitcoin Pose the First Problem

A zero-knowledge proof tool can help modern Bitcoin wallets migrate assets before quantum attacks in milliseconds. However, approximately 1.1 million bitcoins mined by Satoshi Nakamoto before 2012 are fundamentally unprotected by such solutions, as they reside in older P2PK addresses lacking the hierarchical structure required for this cryptographic rescue. This exposes a critical divide: post-2012 HD wallets can potentially "upgrade" signatures using tools like Project Eleven's, while early coins are cryptographically isolated. The community faces a political, not technical, dilemma with four contentious options: 1) Let quantum attackers seize the coins, risking market instability; 2) Hard fork to freeze vulnerable addresses, seen as violating property rights; 3) Implement extreme spending limits to slow any attack; 4) Redistribute "orphaned" coins, breaking immutability. Each solution threatens a core Bitcoin tenet. The market is already pricing in this governance risk, as evidenced by institutional divestment citing uncertainty. The true crisis isn't the arrival of quantum computing, but the community's inability to reconcile its foundational principles with an existential technological shift.

Where Will the Next Bull Market's Main Battlefield Be? The Answer Lies in These Two Types of Assets

Matt Hougan, Bitwise's CIO, identifies the fusion of traditional finance and on-chain finance as the core driver for the next crypto bull market. He expects this cycle, propelled by real-world utility and global finance adoption, to be the largest yet, centered on stablecoins, asset tokenization, 24/7 trading, instant settlement, and institutional DeFi growth. The article outlines two primary investment approaches tied to this trend. The first focuses on native crypto applications with strong revenues and sustainable tokenomics, exemplified by Hyperliquid (HYPE). Its Layer-1 chain is gaining significant trading volume from traditional assets like oil and equities. Its model of using 99% of revenues for token buybacks is a key strength. The second approach targets established traditional firms building at scale on crypto rails, like Robinhood. The launch of its Robinhood Chain, enabling global trading of tokenized stocks and DeFi activities, represents a major move towards this fusion. The author also notes other serious contenders like Coinbase, Figure, BlackRock, and JPMorgan. Ultimately, the thesis is that the most profound success will come when blockchain technology seamlessly integrates into finance, becoming invisible to end-users. Investors are advised to position ahead of this convergence.

The Clarity Act's Journey Through Congress: The Thorny Path of Bipartisan Compromise in the U.S.

The U.S. Congress is struggling to advance the crypto market structure bill known as the Clarity Act, with bipartisan compromise proving difficult. Key hurdles include unresolved disputes over "yield" products and, more critically, the inclusion of strong ethics provisions for elected officials—a non-negotiable demand for many Democrats. While a compromise on yield was reached in May, securing only limited Democratic support in committee, the separate Senate Agriculture Committee version later passed with no Democratic votes due to the ethics impasse. As Republicans push for a full Senate vote in July, demands for ethics rules have expanded, and other contentious issues like developer protections and concerns from law enforcement and large banks further complicate negotiations. Despite consensus on the need for legislation, the path forward is unclear. Recent discussions between senators and White House officials aim to find acceptable ethics language. Some lawmakers question whether a compromise text can garner enough bipartisan support, with one Democrat stating the current proposal lacks the strong ethics provisions required for their vote. Potential short-term goals for the crypto community include symbolic Senate action before the August recess, a longer-term aim for passage by 2026, or establishing a detailed framework that addresses ethics and other compromises. The process remains arduous, relying on the traditional, vote-by-vote effort to build bipartisan support.

Are Kalshi and Polymarket Founders at Odds? This Business Rivalry Is More Brutal Than You Think

"The Rivalry Between Kalshi and Polymarket Founders Turns Bitter and Litigious" The intense feud between Tarek Mansour, CEO of Kalshi, and Shayne Coplan, founder of Polymarket, has escalated far beyond typical business competition into personal animosity and regulatory battles. Both lead billion-dollar prediction market platforms, but their approaches differ sharply. Kalshi positions itself as the compliant operator, securing U.S. regulatory approval before launching. In contrast, Polymarket initially operated offshore, allowing U.S. users to access its platform via VPN, which drew regulatory scrutiny. The conflict reached a peak in November 2024 when FBI agents raided Coplan's New York apartment. While Coplan publicly blamed political motives, his team privately suspected Kalshi was involved. According to sources, Kalshi's lawyers had previously reported Polymarket's operations to federal prosecutors, highlighting its accessibility to U.S. users despite a ban. This incident fueled mutual accusations and underhanded tactics, including social media smear campaigns and attempts to sabotage each other's major business deals. Their rivalry also played out in Washington, influencing regulatory debates. Kalshi actively lobbied against Polymarket's practices, framing them as illegal and unethical. Polymarket, after facing a CFTC fine and investigation, later acquired a licensed U.S. firm to launch a domestic app, regaining a foothold. Despite the hostility, both companies have seen massive growth, with combined trading volumes soaring. However, increased regulatory scrutiny, particularly around insider trading on Polymarket's platform, continues to pose challenges. The founders' deep-seated mutual disdain ensures their battle for market dominance remains as much a personal vendetta as a commercial one.
