Bank custody won't just add another service layer to digital assets - it fundamentally rewrites how institutional capital interfaces with the market. That's the thesis Jeff Dorman, CFA, Chief Investment Officer at Arca, unpacks in our latest episode of Derivatives Decoded. The current market structure creates unprecedented capital inefficiency. While crypto "prime brokers" tout institutional solutions, they can't solve the core problem: in a T+0 settlement environment, you must pre-fund every venue individually. The result? Massive fragmentation of capital across Deribit, CME, IBIT, and other venues — each requiring separate collateral pools. Jeff offers a sophisticated analysis of where institutional capital actually flows and shares Arca's framework for institutional valuation across quantifiable financial value, measurable utility value, and correlative social value. He also tells Ash how rigorous fundamental analysis can be applied to digital assets — a sharp contrast to the purely quantitative approaches dominating the space. For traders managing institutional capital today, Jeff provides detailed analysis of venue selection between IBIT options and crypto-native venues. The key differentiator isn't pricing - it's capital efficiency.

Here's to a great 2025! 🚀
2024 has been an incredible journey for Kemet Trading, and as the year wraps up, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on some milestones that make me incredibly proud: 🚀 Breaking Records: In November, we hit an all-time high with $2.7B in notional trading volume for the month, with a staggering 95% of that in options. It’s moments like these that cement Kemet as the institutional leader in derivatives trading—especially options. 🤝 Partnering with OKX: This was a big one. By teaming up with OKX, we’ve enhanced their institutional trading capabilities, allowing their clients to leverage Kemet for seamless derivatives and spot trading. Collaboration is key to growing this ecosystem, and this partnership is proof. 🎙️ Launching ‘Derivatives Decoded’: Our podcast has been a labor of love, and having guests like Galaxy, Abra , and Arbelos Markets join us has been the cherry on top. These conversations are shaping the narrative around digital asset derivatives, and we’re just getting started. I'll leave a link in the comments to check out our latest episode with Jason Urban from Galaxy if you haven't seen it yet! 💰 Closing Our Seed Round in May: Securing $5M in May, led by Further Ventures, alongside support from heavy hitters like Deribit and FalconX, was a massive vote of confidence in what we’re building. This raise wasn’t just about the capital—it was about the belief in our vision and the momentum we’re creating. 📈 Innovating with Volatility Trading: Rolling out our Vega-focused trading algo earlier this year was a massive success. It’s delivering unmatched results, and if you haven’t seen it in action yet, let’s fix that - DM me for a demo. 🌍 Expanding Globally: Attending the Further Network Summit by Further Ventures in Abu Dhabi was inspiring, and it solidified our focus on expanding in the MENA region. The energy in this region is incredible, and I can’t wait to see what’s next. ✨ New Board Member: I’m beyond excited to announce the addition of Luuk Strijers, CEO of Deribit, to our board at Kemet. Luuk’s expertise and leadership in the derivatives space will be invaluable as we continue to scale and innovate. To our team, partners, and clients: Thank you. None of this happens without your belief, hard work, and collaboration. Here’s to building on this momentum in 2025.

Traditional finance assumes small issues will self-correct with support from institutions, while in crypto, signs of trouble signal urgency. According to Robert Wallden, Head of Trading at Abra, adopting a "move fast" approach means responding to market sentiment quickly, adjusting collateral procedures as needed, and making timely decisions to mitigate risks in the decentralized space. Tune in to the latest episode of Derivatives Decoded for more from Robert!

Wrapping up the year with an incredible week for Kemet Trading with Further Ventures at the Further Network Summit (FNS) and ADFW in Abu Dhabi. I had the privilege of joining an insightful panel with QCP, GRVT, and Avantgarde, where we discussed the future of crypto derivatives and the growth opportunities ahead. The summit, co-hosted by Further Ventures, Galaxy, and QCP was a fantastic opportunity to connect with industry leaders shaping the next phase of digital assets. A huge thanks to OKX for inviting me to the McLaren Group F1 Paddock at—an unforgettable experience following our recently announced partnership. We also co-hosted a breakfast with Deribit and RockawayX, where we engaged with partners and clients over a shared vision for institutional-grade trading solutions. Looking forward to an incredible 2025 ahead!
