Chicago, United States, September 28th, 2026, Chainwire

AlgoQuant Asset Management has engaged Liquid Mercury, a provider of trading technology for digital asset marketplaces and crypto trading, to deliver trading technology and infrastructure services. The investment manager, which focuses on solving inefficiencies in fast-evolving markets, will deploy Liquid Mercury's institutional-grade trading technology to scale its multi-strategy investment platform and enhance execution capabilities across global digital asset markets. Financial terms of the engagement and a deployment timeline were not disclosed in the announcement.

The engagement gives AlgoQuant access to deep liquidity, advanced execution capabilities, and professional-grade trading tools that support the firm's commitment to quantitative excellence, risk integrity, and operational resilience. Liquid Mercury's battle-tested platform, combined with AlgoQuant's sophisticated quantitative strategies, provides a foundation for executing complex digital asset trades across global markets. The integration also allows AlgoQuant to maintain 24/7 trading operations while scaling talent, capital, and technology without compromising precision.

AlgoQuant operates as a multi-strategy investment platform designed to perform across diverse market environments, with a team spanning key global financial and digital asset markets. Through Liquid Mercury's platform, the firm will benefit from access to top-tier liquidity providers, low-latency infrastructure, and comprehensive middle- and back-office tools designed to meet the demands of institutional asset managers operating in digital asset markets. The infrastructure emphasis reflects a structural feature of digital asset markets themselves: trading runs continuously, so institutional managers need systems that support nonstop execution, consolidated order and trade data, and risk oversight in real time, rather than workflows built around fixed trading sessions.

“AlgoQuant came to us with very specific infrastructure requirements that are unique to their sophisticated quantitative strategies,” stated Liquid Mercury CEO Tony Saliba. “What sets Liquid Mercury apart is our ability to shape our tech stack to meet each client's distinct needs. This level of customization isn't something firms can always find off the shelf, but our battle-tested platform was built with the flexibility to adapt while maintaining institutional-grade standards. We're honored to provide the tailored technology infrastructure that will support AlgoQuant as it continues to scale its investment platform.”

“Liquid Mercury has been an excellent technology partner for AlgoQuant Asset Management,” said Alexander Goncharov, President of AlgoQuant Asset Management. “We are very pleased with their sophisticated technology stack, collaborative approach, and willingness to tailor the platform to our specific needs. Their infrastructure delivers the speed, reliability, and precision required in today's digital asset markets while integrating seamlessly with our proprietary systems and workflows.”
