UTX #026 - Richard Olsen on Lykke, Finance, and Symbiosis

At UTX, we often times talk about technology being at the center of human progress. Which is true. But there is another factor which we shouldn't forget about, namely how the fruits of technological progress are reaped and distributed, which today is not done in an equal manner.

Richard Olsen's mission is to work against inequality by providing access to financial markets to everyone. With his background as a PhD of law from the University of Zurich and over 25 years of professional experience as an FX dealer, a researcher, a high-frequency trading specialist and a serial entrepreneur of financial marketplaces, he is more than well-served to do so.

The great-grandfather of the crypto sector himself, Richard is founder and CEO of Lykke, a Swiss marketplace and pioneer provider of investment and trading infrastructure for blockchain assets. He previously founded Oanda, a forex and CFD trading platform and data service for traders, acquired by the large private equity firm CVC Capital Partners in 2018. He also co-authored the book "Introduction to High-Frequency Finance".

Lykke is the Danish word for "happiness". Join our talk with Richard to learn more about why finance can be a source of global happiness and how Richard and his companies are contributing for that to happen.
