Kvants and Kucoin Integration addresses the increasing investor demand for risk adjusted trading strategies in digital asset markets.
The timing of this product integration responds to growing demand for alternative alpha generation methods in the digital asset sector. As the landscape transitions away from speculative token investments toward structured capital allocation, the investor sentiment towards quantitative trading products is increasing, as Kvants observed with their increase in AUM from all investor classes during the past quarter.
Kvants Vaults cater to the emerging trend by offering transparent, permissionless access to quantitative trading strategies built on top of decentralized perpetual futures venues such as Drift on Solana, or Hyperliquid.

July 2025 marked a defining performance milestone for Kvants Vaults, which delivered a 22 percent net return amidst mixed broader market conditions. The achievement reflects the precision and effectiveness of the platform’s robust trading infrastructure, built on institutional-grade trading systems that target structural inefficiencies in digital asset markets.
This level of risk-adjusted performance underscores Kvants’ commitment to disciplined alpha generation without directional exposure. Vault strategies rely on numerous sub strategies, including but not limited to volatility arbitrage, funding rate arbitrage, statistical arbitrage, and short term momentum.
These mechanisms, executed on-chain, have demonstrated consistency even under volatile conditions, positioning Kvants Vaults as a credible alternative to discretionary or passive crypto investment models.

Kvants offers three Drift vaults built on a neutralised JLP core. USDC Alpha Aggressive holds JLP, shorts the JLP basket with perps to keep delta near zero, then adds a high-intensity momentum overlay on BTC, ETH, and SOL for extra alpha, with higher turnover and variance.
USDC Alpha Stable uses the same base with a conservative overlay and a small temporary bias capped around a 2 percent under-hedge, targeting smoother returns.
USDC Staking (Neutral JLP) is fully hedged at 100 percent with no overlay, the lowest-variance option. All earn primarily from JLP fee accrual, rebalance hedges as weights shift, are non-custodial with a short redemption period, and show a trailing 90-day annualized APY that is indicative only. Performance fees apply only to positive PnL as disclosed in app.
