Altius Labs Co-Founder: Wall Street Trading Institutions Are Moving On-Chain

Comparing news, Altius Labs co-founder and CEO Annabelle Huang said Wall Street trading agency Alpha is shifting from physical hosting and nanosecond speed advantages to the use of on-chain infrastructure. Jump has used its high-frequency trading experience to develop a 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 delays. Cumberland is providing Pyth Network with real-time crypto market data. Jane Street bought and sold over $110 billion in cryptocurrencies in 2024 and recently hired Copper's former head of infrastructure architecture. As stablecoins and real-world assets tokenize liquidity, the scale of the on-chain market will continue to expand, and future Alpha will stem from the production, sequencing, and monetization of blockchain space.
