Swiss hedge fund Cryptonomics Capital has spent the past 15 months backtesting its data-driven cryptocurrency trading strategy, which it has seasoned with a healthy dose of alternative data. “The cryptocurrency market is still new enough so that you can apply methodologies and topics that do not work in the traditional financial markets since you’ll need much lower latency and much more power,” Tom Debus, a founder and managing partner at Cryptonomics, told Markets Media. Although the global crypto market remains highly unregulated, the fund follows the standard regulatory policies of Switzerland and Lichtenstein, according to Debus.
