BODL Ventures Founding Partner: Legendary Quant Fund QRT Expands in Hong Kong Market and Launches Cryptocurrency Job Recruitment

Odaily Planet Daily reported that Feng Liu, founding partner of BODL Ventures, disclosed on the X platform that legendary quantitative hedge fund QRT is ramping up its presence in Hong Kong. The news states that QRT has signed a lease for the 6th floor of the IFC Phase II building in Central, expected to be operational in the first quarter of next year, while simultaneously advancing its low-profile Crypto Desk business. In recent months, QRT’s Hong Kong office has been continuously recruiting for positions related to crypto asset research, quantitative analysis, and trading. Although its crypto trading activities are rarely publicly disclosed, industry insiders generally believe that QRT is accelerating the expansion of its crypto data and quantitative teams. It is reported that QRT originated from the London-based quantitative fund team under Credit Suisse and later became independent through a management buyout (MBO). Bloomberg once described it as a “mysterious quantitative fund rewriting the rules of the $4.5 trillion hedge fund industry,” but its specific operations remain largely undisclosed to this day.
