What is Alameda Research?Sam Bankman-Fried’s secretive proprietary trading firm is major DeFi investor

As Sam Bankman-Fried’s cryptocurrency platform FTX faces an $8bn shortfall and potential bankruptcy, attention has turned to FTX’s sister firm Alameda Research.
Alameda Research, a quantitative cryptocurrency trading firm, was founded by Bankman-Fried, also known as SBF, in October 2017 and is a major decentralised finance (DeFi) investor. The Hong Kong-headquartered private equity firm has made more than 185 investments, according to Crunchbase.
Crypto empire melting
Alameda’s relationship with SBF’s crypto exchange FTX has been at the centre of scrutiny after CoinDesk published Alameda’s balance sheet revealing 40% of the company’s assets are denominated in the ftx token (FTT).
The revelation that Alameda largely depended on its sister firm’s token rather than fiat currency or third-party cryptocurrency sparked large numbers of investors to flee FTX and FTT until the company was unable to keep up with client withdrawal requests.
Alameda’s DeFi investment
Alameda, which has since switched its website to private during the turmoil, has made 185 investments in the five years of its existence, according to Crunchbase.
These include several capital injections for firms working on DeFi solutions. Earlier this week, a fintech and software company Fordefi announced it had raised $18m for a launch of an institutional DeFi wallet from Alameda and others.
“DeFi transactions are much more complex than simple asset transfers, and that’s the key to DeFi’s exciting new opportunities,” said Fordefi’s co-founder Dima Kogan commented.
“Unfortunately, this complexity also brings with it many new security risks. Fordefi enables institutions to interact with DeFi applications with increased operational efficiency and security through in-depth visibility into each transaction and the ability to set the right controls.”
In addition to traditional fundraising, Alameda has made investments in DeFi projects across the Ethereum (ETH) and Solana (SOL) ecosystems.

CEO of Alameda Research is a 28-year-old Harry Potter fan
by Sarah Butcher 16 hours ago
It's a bad day and week for millennials in crypto. 30-year-old Sam Bankman-Fried (SBF) has already lost 94% of his fortune and is facing questions as to the probity of his actions after the Wall Street Journal reported that his crypto exchange, FTX, lent $10bn to his affiliated trading firm, Alameda Research. Constance Wang, the 28 year-old ex-Credit Suisse analyst running the day-to-day operations of FTX is presumably sharing the pain. Caroline Ellison, another 28-year-old SBF protégé already appears to be out of a job.
Ellison was CEO of Alameda Research, which is being wound down as of this afternoon. Alameda was a crypto market maker with a reputation for aggressive trading strategies. SBF confessed today that these were being funded by money customers had deposited in FTX for their own trading purposes.
>Harry Potter fan
There's no indication that Ellison did anything illegal, and it's not clear which role she played in the use of FTX customer funds, if any,
but she doesn't seem to have had a huge amount of experience prior to running a firm with an alleged $10bn of money
sloshing around.
Before joining Alameda as a trader in March 2018, Ellison spent 19 months as a junior trader at Jane Street after graduating from Stanford University with a bachelor's degree in mathematics in 2016. In a podcast two years ago, Ellison explained that Jane Street was her first job out of college. A diehard mathematician and Harry Potter fan born of two economists, Ellison she hadn't wanted to go into trading but "just didn't really know what to do" with her life.
She was persuaded to join Alameda by SBF, who also previously worked for Jane Street. When she quit Jane Street
, Ellison said she felt bad for staying such a short amount of time. However, this feeling quickly dissipated when she arrived at Alameda and discovered that she had "kind of more trading experience than a lot of Alameda traders," anyway.
In light of what has transpired, Ellison's podcast sounds a lot like a list of reasons why you need some experienced people around to help with decision-making. She says she was "kind of thrown into" making decisions at Alameda and that this was a shock after her 19 months at Jane Street where the decisions she'd made had been "pretty circumscribed." By comparison, in a start-up like Alameda, Ellison said she found herself making "a bunch of decisions," a lot of which were "really uncertain," and that this was "terrifying."
As FTX implodes and the crypto sector goes from winter to the potential eternal darkness and icy freeze of a heavily regulated black hole, financial services boomers are feeling some schadenfreude. Richard Handler, CEO of Jefferies, says on Instagram that he reached out to Sam Bankman-Fried with rescue advice in July. SBF didn't respond. "Just like a broken clock, even a boomer can be right sometimes," reflected Handler today.

Inside the epic crypto collapse of FTX—and how it hurts Tom Brady, Steph Curry and Joe Biden
By Michael Kaplan,

November 11, 2022
Bankman-Fried was raised near Palo Alto, Calif., by two Stanford Law professors, Joseph Bankman and Barbara Fried. After flipping a coin to choose between MIT and CalTech, he went to Cambridge, Mass., where he studied physics and mathematics.
“Nothing I learned in college ended up being useful … other than, like, social development,” Bankman-Fried told Yahoo Finance. “On the academic side, though, it’s all f–king useless … School is just not helpful for most jobs.”
So he ended up fashioning his own kind of career,via a shrewd hack in 2017: taking advantage of a price discrepancy that allowed him to buy bitcoin on the cheap in Japan and sell it high in other countries. Within 18 months,he had turned $10,000 into $1 billion.
In 2019, with one partner, he launched FTX crypto exchange
, which promised a better, safer way for customers to purchase the emerging currency. Customers who bought a “token” from FTX (referred to as an FTT) were allowed to sell crypto at a discount on the FTX.

Hard Math Powerful Fun
MIT economist Ellison's math textbooks inspire young students
Filling the mathematical void
Six years ago when Glenn Ellison volunteered to coach his daughter Caroline’s middle school math team, he hardly realized he would soon become a leading authority in the niche market of advanced mathematics textbooks for elementary and middle school students.
After coaching Caroline’s team for two years, Ellison, Gregory K. Palm (1970) Professor of Economics, decided to compile the notes, worksheets, and packets he had created into Hard Math for Middle School: IMLEM Edition (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, 2008) to make the information more easily accessible to kids not on his team.
Although Ellison had intended the book for a small local audience the middle school students who participated in the Intermediate Math League of Eastern Massachusetts (IMLEM) the book took off nationally, selling thousands of copies across the country.
The enthusiastic response to Hard Math for Middle School made apparent the absence of excellent textbooks for above average math students. This revelation in addition to the frequent requests from his youngest daughter, Kate spurred Ellison to create a follow up textbook designed for an even younger audience.
Raising the bar
Earlier this year, Ellison released his second book, Hard Math for Elementary School (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, 2013), geared to challenge third to sixth grade students who are capable of working above grade level math. Ellison hopes his latest book will arm elementary school kids with solid fundamental math skills, as well as curiosity, and an enduring passion for mathematics.
He explains that young, high achieving students can become complacent or even apathetic in their math classes because the material isn’t difficult enough to sustain their interest. To keep such students occupied during class, teachers will often give them the next grade level textbook; but in many cases even the next level material is not challenging enough, and these most advanced students simply lose interest in math.
That’s where Hard Math for Elementary School comes in. Presenting above average students math problems that are more difficult and more widely ranging than standard texts, the book has proven exciting to gifted young students.
“Math is really intriguing," says Ellison, "and it’s critical for kids to learn math well while they’re still young. High school students are harder to reach than third graders, but you can make an impact on elementary school kids by showing them that math is not only interesting, but also pretty cool."

“It looks like there is an MIT Crypto Mafia run by the SEC’s Gary Gensler that includes his old boss at MIT Glenn Ellison as well as his daughter Caroline Ellison…the current CEO of Alameda Research of FTX fame!” said Bix Weir, a gold enthusiast, critic of current financial policies and creator of the Road to Roota theory.
