Episode 19: Phil Elsasser – MARKET Protocol
Phil Elsasser is the CTO and Co-Founder of MARKET Protocol. Phil has spent the last 7 years as the lead developer on an algorithmic trading desk. Phil has led teams of developers focused on creating trading infrastructure, user interfaces, execution platforms and quantitative trading analytics.
The founding members of MARKET Protocol have been managing a 24-hour algorithmic trading group since 2014. Based on the experiences and over 30 cumulative years, the team realized how immature the crypto exchanges were. This created an opportunity for conceptualization and development of MARKET Protocol which provided a blank slate to address issues with both the crypto and traditional exchange models.
