innovative trading firm with a strong focus on collaboration,

Our Founding Partners
first conceptualized Akuna in their hometown of Sydney. They opened
the firm's first office in 2011 in the heart of the derivatives
industry and the options capital of the world - Chicago. Today,
Akuna is proud to operate from additional offices in Sydney,
Shanghai, Singapore and London.
Established in
2024, Akuna's Singapore office is the newest addition to our
growing global presence. Strategically located in one of the
world's leading financial centers, this office provides access to
several key Asian markets and supports all core functions of our
business-including trading, development, research, and
operations.
This expansion marks a significant
milestone in our APAC growth strategy, reinforcing our long-term
commitment to providing liquidity in the region's options markets.
