BODL Ventures Founding Partner: Legendary Quantitative Fund QRT Increases Investment in Hong Kong Market and Launches Crypto Job Recruitment

Feng Liu, founding partner of BODL Ventures, revealed in an article on the X platform that legendary quantitative hedge fund QRT is ramping up its expansion in Hong Kong. Reports indicate that QRT has signed a contract for six floors of IFC Phase 2 in Central, Hong Kong, expected to open in the first quarter of next year, while simultaneously advancing its quietly operating 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. QRT reportedly originated from Credit Suisse's London quantitative fund team, later achieving independence through a management buyout (MBO). Bloomberg once described it as a "mysterious quantitative fund that rewrote the rules of the $4.5 trillion hedge fund industry," but its specific operations remain largely undisclosed.
