Lithium Finance has Joined Forces with Alameda Research
- The quantitative trading and crypto investment firm will be a Wisdom Seeker in the Lithium ecosystem, focusing on private equity secondaries.
- With Wisdom Nodes specialized in private assets, Wisdom Seekers like Alameda Research will be able to get accurate pricing data on specific private equity in the secondary market in a prompt fashion.
- Pricing private equity secondaries have been a process primarily in murky waters. This partnership could mark the new beginning of bringing transparency pricing on private assets.
Lithium Finance is proud to announce the partnership with Alameda Research, a quantitative trading and crypto investment firm with Wall Street and Silicon Valley expertise. Under the partnership, Alameda Research will join the Lithium ecosystem as a Wisdom Seeker and focus on getting pricing information on private equity secondaries.
As an oracle dedicated to private and illiquid assets, Wisdom Seekers like Alameda can leverage Lithium’s Wisdom Nodes and the DMI mechanism by submitting questions about the valuation of specific private equity in the secondary market. Then, Wisdom Nodes will give their answers, and the DMI mechanism will determine the ultimate consensus accordingly.
To many, pricing private equity has been a process mainly in the dark with no transparency. However, with the help of the crowd’s wisdom, the Lithium — Alameda partnership could be a turning point for pricing private equities secondaries with greater price discovery. Moreover, pricing through a DeFi protocol such as Lithium is considered the first step to bring such private assets to the DeFi space.
David Lighton, Co-founder of Lithium Finance, said,
“Pricing private equity has been challenging, sometimes it’s even more difficult when it comes to value creation in the secondary market. I’m sure Alameda sees the same pain point, and I’m glad that Lithium is their selected solution for that.”
Brian Lee, Partner of Alameda Research added that
“Pricing private equity requires deep-level expertise and the ability to deal with unique challenges. The protocol could be a handy tool for many other players in the field.”
