Need For Speed: The Formula for Low-Latency, AI and Institutional Liquidity
Where Speed, Intelligence and Institutional Capital Converge.
During TOKEN2049 Singapore, 1Token, Amazon Web Services (AWS), ABEX and Avelacom invite you to Need For Speed — an exclusive evening dedicated to the strategies, technology and capital shaping the next era of institutional trading.
From the race for microsecond execution to the next frontier of crypto alpha, explore the intersection of high-frequency trading, AI-powered quantitative strategies, institutional liquidity and tokenized real-world assets (RWAs). Connect over the opportunities emerging across crypto and tokenized markets: new trading strategies, evolving market structure, and the infrastructure that turns research into execution.
Designed for leaders from proprietary high-frequency trading firms, major asset managers, leading hedge funds, funds of funds and large family offices, this gathering connects the people building sophisticated trading strategies with the investors seeking their next allocation opportunity.
An evening for ambitious ideas, candid conversations and meaningful connections — bringing quantitative expertise, execution technology and institutional capital into the same room.
