Event Summary

Bitget, the world's largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has launched Project Archimedes, a $300 million institutional capital program aimed at quantitative trading firms, asset managers, and market makers. The program consists of two tracks: a $100 million Capital Provider Program for emerging and growing quantitative firms running market-neutral strategies, and a $200 million Interest-Free Lending Program for established institutions with mature strategies. Bitget CEO Gracy Chen stated the goal is to boost over fifty projects in the next six months. The program focuses initially on market-neutral strategies and will involve strategy assessment, due diligence, and drawdown reviews. It also leverages Bitget's Unified Account to allow tokenized stock positions to serve as collateral for derivatives trading. The program is structured as a long-term capital cooperation framework with rolling admissions and phased deployment.
