Rigorous scientific approach to quantitative trading, powered by AI bots spanning the full spectrum of modern AI technology. Proprietary directional strategies and market making across CEX and DEX venues.
Glacier Arc Digital operates two complementary platforms — Prop Trading for directional and long/short strategies, and a Market Making engine across CEX and DEX venues — vault-based or standard accounts — with full cross-venue hedging — and packages this expertise into our flagship Algorithm as a Service offering: production-grade algos installed directly on the client's infrastructure, under license, with full custody retained by the client.
Full-featured proprietary trading library for directional and long/short strategies. Research, backtesting, and live deployment in one unified system.
Production market making engine running across CEX and DEX venues, on both vault-based and standard accounts. Full cross-venue connectivity for hedging and liquidity.
A brand-new way to access institutional-grade trading strategies — deployed directly on your server, running against your own exchange accounts, under a transparent license. You own the algorithm. You see every order. You keep custody of your funds.
We install our battle-tested trading algorithms on your infrastructure under license, configure them for your venues and risk limits, and maintain them for you — so you get a world-class quant trading desk without ever handing over custody.
Traditional market-making and managed strategies force clients to hand funds to a third party and trust a black box. With Algorithm as a Service, that entire model is inverted:
In the AI era, an algorithm is no longer a secret worth hoarding. Modern AI tools can reproduce most conventional trading strategies in weeks. The old market-making playbook of "keep the algorithms secret" is no longer a real defensive barrier.
What actually creates edge today is a team of battle-tested practitioners with production experience, ready to enhance, tailor-make, and customize strategies for each client's venues, inventory, and risk profile — and to ship iterations at the speed of modern AI tooling.
What a traditional trading firm would deliver in 6–12 months of internal build, we ship in weeks — if not days. AI-accelerated development, pre-existing production algorithms, and hands-on senior operators compress the timeline by an order of magnitude.
We map your venues, target markets, risk limits, and objectives. Pick from our catalogue of battle-tested algorithms or co-design a custom variant.
The algorithm is installed on your server under a clear license agreement. You own the deployment. Source visibility options available.
The algo connects to your own CEX / DEX accounts via your API keys. Funds never leave your custody — we never touch your capital.
Our team continuously tunes, customizes, and ships upgrades. AI-accelerated iteration means new features land in days, not quarters.
Clients are already running our algorithms on their own infrastructure, trading with their own capital, under the Algorithm as a Service license model — with full transparency, custody, and control retained on their side.
Algorithm as a Service is our flagship, but we can also meet you where you are:
For clients who prefer we run the infrastructure end-to-end, we can host and operate the algo on our side, trading against your accounts with your keys — same transparency, less ops on your plate.
Classic managed market making mandate: we operate the strategy, you benefit from the liquidity and spread capture, under a performance-based engagement.
On-chain vault-based market making on perpetual DEX platforms — capital is pooled in an audited vault contract, not in our hands.
For token issuers and projects: we provide warm introductions to exchanges for listings, and design tailor-made market making strategies for each client's target venues, inventory constraints, and risk profile — from CEX perps to on-chain vaults.
Interested in Algorithm as a Service, a hosted mandate, or vault-based market making? Tell us a bit about your setup and we'll reach out with a tailored proposal.
All enquiries are routed directly to the founding team. We reply to every message. Your email address stays between us.
Our edge comes from combining a rigorous scientific methodology for trading system design with AI bots spanning the full spectrum of modern AI technology, managing operations the way a traditional trading desk would — but faster, 24/7, and without human bias. This fusion of institutional discipline and disruptive technology is the key to our success.
Every trading system is designed through a rigorous scientific process: hypothesis formulation, statistical validation, backtesting with realistic market conditions, and controlled live deployment. We treat trading as an empirical science, not guesswork.
We deploy AI bots across the full spectrum of modern AI technology to manage our trading operations the same way a traditional trading desk would — monitoring positions, managing risk, analysing market conditions, and making operational decisions. The AI never sleeps, never panics, and processes information at superhuman speed.
The founding team brings decades of experience from Jump Trading alongside top-tier investment banks, hedge funds, and crypto-native market makers. We apply the same institutional-grade risk management, position sizing, and execution discipline used by the world's top trading firms — but supercharged with AI technology that gives us capabilities no traditional desk can match. This combination of proven methodology and cutting-edge AI is what sets Glacier Arc Digital apart.
Real-time overview of our active trading operations across prop trading and market making.
Our unified execution layer lets the same strategy run seamlessly in backtest, paper trading, and production — across both CEX and DEX venues.
Strategies interact only with a single interface. The system handles the rest — whether executing against historical data, a live CEX, or a DEX vault.
Every order passes through multiple risk checks before reaching the market. A circuit breaker automatically halts trading if limits are breached.
Built with expertise from Jump Trading's ultra-low latency systems and 2+ years of hands-on experience at a crypto market maker. Deployed on AWS with co-location studies to minimise latency to exchange and DEX endpoints.
Every strategy is rigorously tested against historical data before any live capital is deployed. The same strategy runs identically in backtest and live — no code changes needed.
Events are processed in the exact order they occurred in the market, maintaining realistic causality between price moves, order fills, and strategy decisions.
Simulates real-world execution with latency, slippage based on order size, partial fills, and market impact — no unrealistic assumptions.
Comprehensive metrics including Sharpe ratio, Sortino ratio, maximum drawdown, win rate, and profit factor. Full trade journal for review.
The unified execution layer means zero code changes between backtest and live. What you test is exactly what you deploy.
Built by practitioners from both traditional finance and crypto markets. Deep expertise in ultra-low latency infrastructure from top-tier HFT firms and hands-on crypto-native market making experience.

Two ways to get exposure to Glacier Arc Digital's edge: deposit directly into our production Strike Finance vault, or engage with us for VC partnership and capital injection.
Deposit directly into our live market making vault on Strike Finance — an on-chain perpetual DEX where capital is pooled in an audited vault contract, never in our hands. Glacier Arc Digital trades the vault using the same infrastructure and risk discipline described on this site, with continuous CEX hedging across major venues.
Vault traded by Glacier Arc Digital. Crypto trading carries risk — only deposit what you can afford to lose.
We are also open to discussions with external investors — venture capital, family offices, and strategic partners interested in capital injection to scale infrastructure, strategy coverage, and team.
For VCs, family offices, and strategic partners interested in capital partnership and long-term alignment with the founding team. Tell us a bit about your fund and thesis — we reply to every serious enquiry.
All partnership enquiries go directly to the founding team.
We're building the future of quantitative trading — combining institutional-grade methodology with AI-powered operations. If you thrive at the intersection of finance and technology, we want to hear from you.
We're looking for a quantitative trader with hands-on experience building trading systems. You'll work directly with the founders to develop, deploy, and manage proprietary strategies and market making systems across CEX and DEX venues.
