Huangfu isn't the only partner who has joined Arcane from Huobi - Frank Fan joined the firm in August 2022, after over 4 years as a senior director there, focusing on strategic planning and APAC business expansion and investment.

Other partners that have joined Arcane in the past year include Karl Mjardsjo, who joined in February 2022 from TradeForward, a fintech for algorithmic and quantitative trading of digital and crypto assets; and Chew Min Wei, the firm's partner and head of trading, who joined in March 2022.
