Bitget Institutional is putting $300 million behind quantitative trading firms through two programs.
Capital Provider Program ($100M) for emerging and growing market-neutral quant firms. Bitget provides capital with returns shared under an agreed risk framework.
Interest-Free Lending Program ($200M) for established institutions with proven strategies and existing trading scale. Meet defined volume or position requirements, and you get access to interest-free capital. Lower funding costs, more capital for your strategies.
Why now? Arbitrage margins in crypto have compressed as competition increased. Firms are hunting across basis spreads, funding-rate differences, and tokenized assets which often means holding positions on both sides of a trade. That ties up margin across separate accounts, eating into returns.
This is where the infrastructure matters. Under Bitget's Unified Account, eligible rToken spot positions can serve as collateral for derivatives trading with no transfers needed. If you're running a tokenized US stock strategy, you can maintain your spot exposure while deploying related contract strategies through the same account, improving capital efficiency. Weekend collateral valuation follows the stock's Friday close, giving you a fixed reference when US markets are shut.
