Raoul Pal wrote this on LinkedIn the other day, and in case you missed it, I want to come back to it: "One day people will realise the largest users of BTC ETF's and most of the volume is hedge funds arb'ing vs futures and perps. Inflows are mainly not directional, only at the margin." Profound words. You couple those remarks with headlines like this: "Blackrock CEO Larry Fink Declares Bitcoin an Asset Class, Rivaling Gold in Investment Potential". From a purely trading perspective, opportunity abounds. At Architect, where I am now working, we see a convergence of technology and clearing happening all at once. Hedge funds, retail traders, even institutions want capital efficiencies and the harmonization of front-end exection applications and back-office risk systems. I remember when I was running Traditum having four different risk platforms that weren't connected and didn't speak to one another. I learned at that time to do math very quickly in my head. Sometimes, I couldn't crunch the numbers fast enough. Oops. The system we've built at Architect is ambitious. We believe there is great potential in what I call the "three-legged stool" of BTC - and that it should be fully, seamlessly, harmoniously integrated. What does that even mean, Mike? Imagine a system that gives you access to Coinbase for bitcoin and Ethereum through a wrapper; or other leading crypto exchanges; CME futures and options on the two leading digital assets in the world by market cap; and ETF's, too, *where you can dabble in all the various ETFs that will continue to get rolled out in perpetuity. Spread trades; volatility trading; basis trades, calendar spreads, inter-commodity, and carry trades. No different, really, than what you see in metals, "Ags", energy markets, and fixed income and equities. Can I see a show of hands for those interested in clearing, too? News flash: BTC and ETH have been waved through from a regulatory perspective. They're good to go in any pension, retirement account or 401K that is even remotely paying attention to the laws that get passed out of Washington D.C. While markets are sometimes perfectly efficient, trading ecosystems are not often as straightforward. We see this as an area ripe for disruption - because what investor doesn't want greater access, lower fees, and a modicum of simplicity when they can get it.
