CV122: Matthew Taback - Market Making Bitcoin

Show support appreciated: donations.cryptovoices.com Show Sponsor: hodlhodl.com/join/cryptovoices Matthew and Alec interview Matthew Taback, market maker with Radkl. Matthew, like Jimmy in previous pod, gives us a good overview between TradFi and DeFi, but this time from the perspective of trading and market making. He provides execution services to their clients, who are broker-dealers. Beyond liquidity and market making in the current market, Matt gives some history from his previous firms, interestingly trading in competition against Madoff Securities at one point. We discuss the current regulatory climate in the United States, and how Bitcoin and DeFi continue to innovate and blindside TradFi, and how the regulators are trying to keep up, but unfortunately not in as slow, well-intentioned, and deliberate of a manner that was once done in the past. We speak about the hinting of a CBDC coming into the US market, and what implications that has in store for the markets, economy, and privacy. How does the Nasdaq 100 come into the mix? Matt provides some clarity. Is it a risk-on or risk-off asset? Is it correlated to other assets? In Matt's business, charts move by stories, not necessarily long-term models. Listen on to learn more.
