Digital asset derivatives market maker and liquidity provider for Asia
QCP is a Singapore-based digital asset derivatives trader and market maker serving institutional clients across Asia. The tech stack reveals a hybrid operation: Python + C# + Java for trading systems and analytics, Bloomberg Terminal + Excel for front-office workflows, and a modern infrastructure layer (AWS, Kafka, PostgreSQL, Splunk, QRadar) for risk and operational resilience. Active hiring across finance, engineering, and sales—with leadership gaps in both Head of Sales and Head of Compliance—suggests QCP is scaling client acquisition and regulatory operations in tandem, while engineering focus on pricing models, trading analytics, and risk UIs points to internal tooling as a competitive edge.

QCP operates as a global market maker in digital asset derivatives, headquartered in Singapore with a presence across the UAE, Japan, Malaysia, Vietnam, and the United States. Founded in 2017, the firm provides institutional clients with spot on/off ramping, fixed income strategies, vanilla options, and bespoke exotic derivatives on digital assets. The company functions as both a liquidity provider and a counterparty network, serving as a bridge between traditional portfolio managers integrating crypto exposure and sophisticated digital asset traders. Revenue generation flows from trading spreads, derivative pricing, and advisory services; the business model depends on scale of counterparty relationships and depth of liquidity provision.
