Crypto quantification agency Kronos Research: Consolidate its position as a market maker in Asia and maintain sufficient liquidity for the market

Token 2049, Asia's largest Web3 event, kicked off in Singapore, bringing together decision-makers from traditional financial companies, large technology companies and global regulators, as well as entrepreneurs and builders focusing on cryptocurrency businesses. The new leader of Kronos Research, a cryptocurrency quantification agency, also attended the event, met with partners, and expressed a positive and optimistic attitude towards the growth of virtual asset-related projects in Asia.

Kronos’ new CEO Hank Huang said in the conversation that the company will consolidate its position as a market maker for centralized and decentralized exchanges and ensure that the cryptocurrency market has sufficient liquidity under the current bearish market conditions.

Huang said: “We are actively expanding into regions such as Asia, working with newly established decentralized exchanges to provide liquidity for popular assets. At the same time, we plan to invest more funds and resources into market creation. We took the opportunity to participate in Token 2049 to communicate effectively with existing and potential partners and participating exchanges." He also pointed out that the company's market share tripled in the last quarter.

According to Huang, Kronos will open a new office in Singapore and has completed registration of a new fund in the Cayman Islands. "As the United States strengthens its regulation of cryptocurrencies, the Asian market, with a relatively open regulatory environment, is more attractive. In order to ensure compliance, we have also completed fund registration in the Cayman Islands."

Kronos' new chief operating officer, Vincent Liu, announced that in terms of venture capital, they hope to invest in more projects. In the current bear market environment, there has been an increase in higher-quality, lower-valued cryptocurrency projects, and there is a great opportunity not to be missed.

Liu pointed out: "For those projects that just want to make quick profits, the bear market is a natural litmus test. We want to invest in projects that have the patience to strengthen their intrinsic strength in difficult times. These projects focus on long-term returns rather than Short-term profits.”

A new vision for management

Huang and Liu were promoted to Kronos' CEO and COO respectively, leading Kronos' aggressive expansion into high-growth regions.

Huang said: "This industry is developing rapidly, and leaders must strengthen their ability to adapt and seize new opportunities. This requires continuous learning and honing core skills. Although there are uncertainties in the future of the market, our focus is clear. That It is to make good use of our research capabilities to provide more robust and in-depth liquidity for projects and exchanges.”

Liu added: "Although it is a bear market now, we cannot stop moving forward. We have developed diversified strategies, deepened our understanding of cryptocurrency, and actively established partnerships. We are united with all teams and facing challenge, promote overall growth, and remain steadfast in our commitment to drive Kronos forward."
