Thank you for your interest in Akuna's Trading internship!

As a Trading Sneak Peek Week participant, you will be enrolled in a crash course on the exciting world of options.

Would you like to shadow our trading desks to learn about Akuna's unique approach to acting as a global liquidity provider/market maker? If your answer is yes, Sneak Peek Week is right for you!
Additional program perks:
  • AkunaU lectures from the firm's leaders
