AlgoQuant Taps Liquid Mercury to Quench Its 24/7 Digital Asset Trading Thirst 🪙

AlgoQuant Asset Management has selected Liquid Mercury to provide the institutional-grade trading technology underpinning its multi-strategy digital asset investment platform, the firms announced on September 28, 2026. The Chicago-based investment manager will deploy Liquid Mercury's infrastructure to scale operations across global crypto markets while supporting its focus on quantitative strategies, risk integrity, and operational resilience.

Under the engagement, AlgoQuant will gain access to deep liquidity, low-latency execution, and middle- and back-office tools designed for institutional digital asset managers. The firms said Liquid Mercury's platform will allow AlgoQuant to maintain 24/7 trading operations and integrate the technology with its proprietary systems and workflows as it expands talent, capital, and technology resources.

Liquid Mercury CEO Tony Saliba framed the deal around customization, noting that AlgoQuant arrived with infrastructure requirements specific to its quantitative approach. "What sets Liquid Mercury apart is our ability to shape our tech stack to meet each client's distinct needs. This level of customization isn't something firms can always find off the shelf, but our battle-tested platform was built with the flexibility to adapt while maintaining institutional-grade standards," Saliba said.

AlgoQuant President Alexander Goncharov echoed that assessment, citing speed, reliability, and precision as decisive factors. "Liquid Mercury has been an excellent technology partner for AlgoQuant Asset Management," Goncharov said. "We are very pleased with their sophisticated technology stack, collaborative approach, and willingness to tailor the platform to our specific needs. Their infrastructure delivers the speed, reliability, and precision required in today's digital asset markets while integrating seamlessly with our proprietary systems and workflows."

AlgoQuant operates as a multi-strategy investment platform with a team spanning key global financial and digital asset markets, according to the announcement. Liquid Mercury is positioned as a technology provider for digital asset marketplaces and crypto trading, offering professional-grade tools to clients executing complex digital asset trades. The companies did not disclose financial terms of the engagement.
