Launching FM Podcast: A Journey Through The History of Electronic Trading

We're thrilled to announce the premiere episode of the FM Podcast, where we delve into the intricate world of electronic trading infrastructure. In this inaugural session, Finery Markets CEO, Konstantin Shulga, engages in a riveting conversation with Doug Atkin, the former CEO of Instinet and Co-Founder of Communitas Capital, exploring the evolution of electronic trading from its traditional finance roots to its burgeoning role in institutional crypto trading.

This episode is a journey back to the inception of Instinet, shedding light on the pivotal challenges that traditional finance faced, ultimately paving the way for electronic trading venues. Konstantin and Doug draw parallels between the market structures of traditional finance and crypto, discussing the requisite institutional infrastructure and the hurdles that lie ahead for the digital assets industry.

From the genesis of electronic trading to the concept of marketplaces as a solution to fragmentation, and the journey towards institutionalizing crypto - this podcast covers it all. Key topics include the importance of smart order routing, the implications of fee competition, and the potential conflicts of interest in trading venue IPOs.
