Markets run the world.
Every stock, bond, currency, barrel of oil, and unit of energy moves through digital exchanges, the invisible infrastructure of the global economy.
Yet these markets are neither open nor fair.
A handful of exchanges owned by a few institutions decide who can trade, what can be listed and how fast information travels. Proximity determines who wins. The closer your servers are to the exchange, the more money you make. Everyone else pays a hidden tax in the form of worse prices or missed opportunities.
Blockchains open a new frontier anyone can launch a market with its rules enforced by code allowing anyone to participate from anywhere in the world without trust.
Full potential of trustless markets has not yet been realized. We are rebuilding it.
