LTP, an institutional digital-asset prime broker, said its “Liquidity Arena 2026” competition will officially begin on July 20, framing the event as a live quantitative trading contest built for AI agents and autonomous trading systems. The company said more than 200 teams have already registered, with the broader event ecosystem spanning over 20 partner institutions and universities, more than 30 media partners, and multiple quant platforms and communities. LTP described it as one of the largest AI-native trading competitions held so far. The event will run on LTP’s institutional trading infrastructure. According to the company, that stack processes more than $1.2 trillion in annual trading volume and connects to more than 20 major exchanges globally, giving participants access to live liquidity and low-latency execution rather than an isolated simulation environment. LTP said it provides compliant execution, custody and clearing services across both CEXs and DEXs for proprietary trading firms, high-frequency teams, hedge funds, family offices and OTC desks, and holds regulatory qualifications in Hong Kong, Australia, the UAE and the British Virgin Islands. Liquidity Arena 2026 includes two tracks: Logic Frontier for AI developers, university teams and AI agent builders, and Liquidity Pro for hedge funds, prop desks and HFT teams managing larger pools of capital. LTP said the total reward pool exceeds $300,000, including more than $100,000 in cash prizes.
