Ep. 354 - Building One of the Largest Crypto Exchanges in History, w/ BitFlyer's Joel Edgerton

In this episode of CRYPTO 101, brought to you by pNetwork and pTokens (PNT), we got to know Joel Edgerton, the COO of the BitFlyer US exchange. BitFlyer is one of the largest crypto exchanges in Japan, and Joel worked overseas with them for a very long time before being tapped as the man to lead the expansion into the US and navigate the choppy waters here in North America. Joel shares with us a wealth of knowledge from his travels all over the world, living in Japan for over a decade, experience working with Fortune 100 companies before BitFlyer, and a very interesting perspective on how decisions are made at crypto exchanges. We got to learn about critical things that we don’t really even know about as regular traders, things like shared liquidity and how distributed order books work. He taught us about BitFlyer’s unique order types that make it a better and easier place to trade. Joel shared his views on the DeFi boom, and at the end of the conversation, it was clear that not all exchanges are created equal. BitFlyer has the vision to really take some market share away from the early incumbents in the US crypto industry. You can be the first in your private group to get the edge of using their platform to place smarter orders.
