Chris Perkins, president of CoinFund, a web3 investment firm, discusses his experience at the Crypto Bahamas conference before diving into an FTX.US proposal that would allow for direct trading of crypto derivatives in the US – which appears to be rocking the boat of certain regulators in D.C. Show topics:
- Chris’s two biggest takeaways from his Crypto Bahamas experience
- how Chris’s experience at Lehman Brothers and Citi prepared him for crypto
- what issues arise via the plumbing of traditional financial markets
- why centralized intermediaries make derivatives trading efficient
- what FTX.US is proposing and how it could be a boon for retail traders
- how crypto settlement would work compared to the current batch trading method
- why the acquisition of LedgerX enabled FTX.US to make this proposal
- what license FTX.US feels like it no longer needs since it can settle derivative transactions on a blockchain
- whether FTX.US would expand to other derivatives and what that might do to an entity like CME
- what Chris is listening for in the CFTC’s public discussion surrounding FTX.US’s proposal
- whether FTX.US’s proposal will be a partisan issue
