Altius Labs Co-founder: Wall Street Trading Institutions are Moving On-Chain

According to Cointelegraph, Annabelle Huang, co-founder and CEO of Altius Labs, stated that the Alpha of Wall Street trading firms is shifting from physical custody and nanosecond speed advantages to the use of on-chain infrastructure.

Jump has leveraged its high-frequency trading experience to develop the high-performance validator client Firedancer for Solana, and its supported project DoubleZero is seeking to commercialize its global private fiber and submarine cable network to reduce latency. Cumberland is providing real-time crypto market data for Pyth Network. Jane Street traded over $110 billion in cryptocurrency in 2024 and recently hired the former head of infrastructure at Copper.

As stablecoins and tokenization of real-world assets inject liquidity, the on-chain market size will continue to expand, and future Alpha will come from the production, sorting, and monetization of block space.
