据彭博报道,加密做市商 Wintermute 正计划在未来五年投入约 10 亿美元,用于高频交易系统和 AI 数据中心基础设施建设,业务重心也将进一步从加密市场延伸至股票、商品和外汇市场。

Wintermute 创始人兼首席执行官 Evgeny Gaevoy 表示,公司希望到 2027 年底,非加密市场业务贡献超过 50% 的收入,而目前这一比例约为 10%。这笔投入预计将主要通过留存收益提供资金。

加密交易活跃度回落后加快转向

这次扩张与加密市场交易降温有关。Wintermute 今年的日均交易量约为 100 亿美元,低于 2025 年的 150 亿美元。报道提到,比特币价格也已回落至去年 10 月高点 12.6 万美元上方的一半左右。

不过,机构客户在其场外现货交易中的占比继续上升。2026 年上半年,机构客户占 Wintermute 场外现货交易量的 72%,创下新高。

Gaevoy 还表示,这家未上市公司在 2025 年保持盈利,预计今年也将继续盈利,但未披露具体数字。福布斯此前曾报道,Wintermute 在 2021 年牛市期间录得 5.82 亿美元利润。

资金将投向算力、存储和量化模型训练

报道显示,Wintermute 计划利用新基础设施训练量化模型,处理更大规模的市场数据,并提升计算、存储和网络能力。Gaevoy 认为,进入传统市场竞争,已不只是把执行速度缩短到微秒级。

Wintermute 此举也意味着它将更直接地与 Jane Street、Citadel Securities 和 XTX Markets 等传统量化交易公司竞争。作为对比,XTX 去年宣布将投入 10 亿欧元,在芬兰建设 5 座数据中心;Jane Street 也在筹备自建并融资数据中心项目。

已扩展至 ETF、RWA 永续和美国股票业务

Wintermute 近两年已开始为跨市场扩张铺路。公司在 2025 年启动 ETF 交易,并上线与现实世界资产相关的永续合约;今年 3 月又增加了西得州中质原油的 24 小时交易敞口,2026 年初还设立了预测市场交易台。

在美国市场方面,Wintermute 的美国关联公司上周获得经纪交易商资格。这意味着其可以交易股票和股票期权,也可作为 ETF 的授权参与人开展业务。

补充信息:CoinDesk 称,已就上述计划向 Wintermute 寻求置评。
