MARKET Protocol

Building the next generation of safe derivativesProblem: The crypto industry is large and growing everyday; however, it remains underdeveloped.Exchanges like Coinbase and Binance have built massive businesses trading cryptocurrencies, but there are still limited opportunities for trading futures and other derivatives - a much larger $10 trillion industry. The options that do exist need to be better. If Coinbase is equivalent to the New York Stock Exchange, who is the next big derivatives exchange?Solution: Leverage blockchain technology to build the next generation of safe derivatives.The crypto industry is going to be huge. We built the tools to take us there. MARKET Protocol uses blockchain technology to bring new and traditional derivatives to the crypto industry. It is a platform to create digital assets (derivatives) safer and more securely. Anyone can use MARKET Protocol to design cool and unique instruments, whether for just a few traders or for a whole industry.

Seth Rubin
CEO
Since starting his career as a derivatives trader in 2005, Seth has directed multiple algorithmic trading desks, operated as a registered market maker, and launched numerous products. In 2013 he co-founded the algorithmic trading group BRE Trading, where he focused on global short term interest rates, as well as a number of commodity and equity products. He was also responsible for building and maintaining the firm’s exchange relationships. In 2015 Seth began trading cryptocurrencies, and soon afterwards he and his partners successfully developed and implemented a number of arbitrage and relative-value crypto strategies. Seth has a deep understanding of centralized and decentralized trading and exchange infrastructures, and he now leverages this experience to develop and execute the practical strategies incorporated into MARKET Protocol.
