Alameda Research (alameda-research.com)

Alameda Research was a privately held cryptocurrency quantitative/proprietary trading firm founded in 2017 by Sam Bankman-Fried and Tara MacAulay. It became closely associated with the cryptocurrency exchange FTX (founded in 2019 by Bankman-Fried), where Alameda acted as a major market maker and trading affiliate. In November 2022, amid the FTX solvency crisis, Alameda and FTX (along with numerous affiliated entities) filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the United States. (en.wikipedia.org)
