Frequently asked questions
Who makes investment and market-making decisions at Skynet Trading?
Pancho Vanhees, the founder, leads Skynet Trading and also co-founded SAVA Investment Management. The firm has not publicly named additional investment committee members or heads of trading. Key shareholders include Seier Capital, founded by Saxo Bank co-founder Lars Seier Christensen, and Edessa Capital, founded by former Arrington Capital partners. Operational details suggest Vanhees remains the central decision-maker.
Does Skynet Trading custody client assets?
No. Skynet Trading operates on an API-key model where clients retain full control of their exchange accounts and capital. The firm deploys its algorithms to manage order books, but trading results and liquidity remain with the client. This structure separates Skynet from market makers that require asset custody and functions more like a SaaS liquidity infrastructure provider.
Does Skynet Trading participate in fund commitments or only direct market-making mandates?
Beyond direct market-making mandates, Skynet co-manages the Skynet EGLD Capital Fund in partnership with the MultiversX Foundation. That fund targets early-stage blockchain projects within the MultiversX ecosystem. The firm also offers OTC execution for VC funds and token issuers, but its primary engine remains structured market-making services, not discretionary fund investing.
