Bitcoin Pemenang Pertandingan Alpha Animus Technologies Dianugerahkan $1 Juta Modal Benih
In conclusion of the inaugural Bitcoin Alpha Competition, Samara Alpha Management and Bitcoin Majalah Pro dipilih Animus Technologies, a Los Angeles-based digital assets fund, as the victor in what was a “breakthrough moment” for the fund manager. As winner of the competition, Animus was awarded $1 million in seed capital and access to Samara Alpha’s institutional-grade infrastructure for managing their fund. Animus and their CEO Maxmilian Pace were recognized on-stage at the Bitcoin persidangan Amsterdam for their AI-based model for capturing alpha in the Bitcoin market and were hand-selected for their innovative approach amongst 150 other talented applicants.
Animus, which began six years ago at the University of Southern California, was the result of three close friends with a passion for Bitcoin and artificial intelligence who saw an opportunity in a nascent market using a toolset that was being underleveraged in the form of artificial intelligence. Their flagship model employs a long-only strategy that integrates real-time market sentiment data processed via AI to capture excess returns in the Bitcoin pasaran.
Animus’s CEO Pace expressed that winning the Bitcoin Alpha Competition was “massive” for their operations, both in terms of the $1 million prize, but also due to Samara Alpha’s institutional-grade infrastructure and industry reputation:
“Apabila menjalankan dana, anda memerlukan bantuan pentadbir, cukai dan audit, pembentukan, banyak perkara; dapat menyelaraskan itu, dari perspektif kos, adalah menakjubkan. Bukan mudah untuk memilih penyedia perkhidmatan yang sesuai untuk perkara itu, dan itu merupakan halangan tambahan untuk pengurus dana yang baru muncul menceroboh ruang. Kini, kami boleh memberi tumpuan kepada perkara terbaik yang kami lakukan, iaitu pembentukan isyarat dan mencipta nilai melalui penyelidikan.”
Dalam permintaan untuk komen, Ketua Pegawai Risiko Pengurusan Samara Alpha Roy Tse menyatakan:
"Perkongsian kami dengan Bitcoin Magazine on the Alpha manager search has been a tremendous success and we were impressed and pleasantly surprised by the number of innovative strategies we have seen. We are excited to provide $1mm in seed capital to the winners, Animus Technologies, and look forward to nurturing and helping their business grow.”
When asked why Animus uses Bitcon as a vehicle for generating returns rather than traditional assets, Pace opined that Bitcoin is “inherently speculative; it is inherently a psychology problem. The fact that narratives are impactful for individual trading behaviors means that those narratives then have a strong effect on the price and the story that underlies this asset. We’ve seen that this week with the [false] ETF news coming out. An ETF didn’t come out, it was just news about the ETF that moved the market sharply.” Ostensibly, their AI models for teasing apart that sentiment allows them to capitalize on these emotional bouts of volatility.
Pace also offered insight on the current state of Bitcoin market as it traded around $34,000 after the recent run-up in price:
“Buat pertama kali sejak sekian lama kita melihat ketamakan berleluasa dalam pasaran, sesuatu yang tidak pernah kita lihat sejak 18 bulan lalu pada bila-bila masa. Kalau tengok 2 tahun lepas, dah jadi amat menurun. Saya fikir peningkatan sentimen baru-baru ini memberi petanda yang sangat baik untuk mengurangkan separuh dan segala-galanya yang akan dibina berdasarkan inovasi yang telah kita lihat dalam pasaran beruang. Terdapat begitu banyak bangunan yang dibina pada masa itu kemudian terserlah apabila pasaran berpusing. Inilah yang saya akan katakan: jangan takut bahawa kami meningkat 50%. Zum keluar. Realitinya, sudah tiba masanya in pasaran apabila anda berhadapan dengan teknologi yang berkembang pesat.”
Sebagai Bitcoin industry seems to be awakening from the slumber of a grueling bear market, the innovators, die-hards and battle-hardened HODLers are excited to show off what they’ve accomplished in the meantime. Bitcoin Amsterdam was an opportunity for companies like Animus and Samara Alpha Management to connect and form relationships that will pay dividends long into the future.
