Auros

Auros is a crypto-native algorithmic trading firm founded in 2019 by Benjamin Roth as a spin-off from the Kenetic group. Set up by derivatives traders and trading system architects with over 20 years of experience, it has “evolved from quantitative trading to become a global liquidity engine driving efficiency and depth across digital asset markets”.

The firm is integrated with more than 40 trading venues, both centralised and decentralised, and has traded well over $1 trillion cumulatively with peak daily volumes in the billions. Its high-frequency capabilities rest on proprietary technology running arbitrage and market-making strategies at speed.

Auros runs three connected businesses: proprietary trading, liquidity solutions offering “end-to-end expertise, from venture funding and engineering support to token launch, liquidity strategy, and institutional market expansion”, and a ventures and DeFi arm. It employs over 150 people, working largely as a distributed team with a hub in Singapore.
