Founded in 2022, Enki is a proprietary HFT firm specializing in digital asset markets. With operations in Dubai, London, and New York, our global footprint and proprietary infrastructure allow us to deliver consistent market-neutral returns—independent of market direction.
We design, and operate fully algorithmic trading systems that extract risk-adjusted returns from digital asset markets — safely, systematically, and at scale. Powered by institutional-grade infrastructure and sophisticated models, our strategies adapt dynamically to volatility and perform across market conditions. All within a managed risk framework.
We deploy proprietary capital accross over 200 trading pairs in spot and derivatives, including hard-to-quote and low-liquidity markets. Our high-frequency infrastructure and adaptive pricing models help maintain deep, reliable order books, even during volatile conditions.
Our team brings deep experience from traditional markets, having supported Fortune 100 institutions with complex integrations and high-touch execution. That same sophistication now powers our own work - combining algorithmic precision with operational excellence and disciplined risk management.
Our proprietary low-latency infrastructure powers sub-millisecond execution of our trading strategies across major digital asset venues — giving us direct access to over 80% of global and local trading volume. Operating as an integrated platform for our internal trading systems, it enables fast, precise quoting, hedging, and scaling across fragmented spot and derivative markets.
This execution layer is central to how we access liquidity, control risk, and capture returns at scale; globally and within key regional hubs like the UAE.
We actively manage our own proprietary treasury system that combines banking-grade allocation models, a dynamic rebalancing framework, and tight execution. With access to best-in-class venues and VIP-tier trading terms, we systematically identify and allocate to high-conviction opportunities across DeFi, CeFi, and private crypto markets.
By refining our models in real time, we maintain optimal capital allocation at scale.
The result: proprietary yields well above traditional finance, without compromising our capital efficiency or liquidity.
With native infrastructure able to bridge our own AED <> digital assets execution, we're uniquely positioned to deploy proprietary capital and efficiently manage our capital flows in and out of the UAE. The region’s forward-thinking regulatory environment and strategic global connectivity make it an ideal base for our operations.
Future Roadmap:
As we expand our footprint, we aim to broaden our proprietary capabilities and explore opportunities for partnerships, subject to licensing and approvals.
"Our edge isn’t theoretical. We move fast, execute hard, and focus on what actually drives returns."
From seasoned leaders to new recruits, every member of our team helps develop and execute on powerful insights. We bring together brilliant minds to do what others consider impossible.
