In our ongoing mission here at London Real to bring you the most influential and important voices in the world of cryptocurrency and Decentralised Finance, we today bring you the American hedge fund manager and financial advisor Dan Morehead.
Dan Morehead is a major player in the trading and investment world, and his financial savvy, be it centralised or not, is the kind of expertise and understanding that takes a lifetime to acquire.
Dan is the founder and CEO of Pantera Capital, a San Francisco-based investment firm which since 2013 has focussed on Bitcoin and other digital currencies. In all, Pantera manages $2.8 billion in blockchain-related assets and has invested in several crypto exchanges including Bitstamp, Coinbase and regional exchanges such as the Mexico-based Bitso.
His early life and career are equally impressive, graduating from Princeton University in 1987 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering and receiving the highly acclaimed Carmichael Prize for outstanding thesis.
From there, it’s been a catalogue of successful transitions as Morehead went from his first job as Mortgage Derivatives Trader at Goldman Sachs to become the Managing Director of the Global Portfolio Group at the Bankers Trust.
In 1995 Dan became the Global Head of Foreign Exchange Options at Deutsche Bank, leading the firm from unranked in the Euromoney Survey to first place in two years. After that, he spent four years as Chief Financial Officer & Head of Macro Trading at Tiger Management.
In 2000 Dan co-founded and acted as CEO of Atriax, an electronic foreign exchange platform. Dan is also a current board member of BitPesa, the acting Chairman of Bitstamp – the world’s longest-running cryptocurrency exchange – and CEO of the aforementioned Pantera Capital.
Dan’s credibility and knowledge are unparalleled and his attention to detail, market trends and deep, easy to grasp explanations of the ups and downs of crypto trading makes this interview an incredible resource for all you crypto enthusiasts.
“10 years from now I think everyone with a smartphone is going to be using cryptocurrency.”
This is why my team and I are going “all in” on this technology and infrastructure and plan on spending that period teaching, understanding, broadcasting, educating, investing in, profiting from and transforming this exciting new marketplace.
There really are no limits to what we can achieve, and by working together as a team, creating a community of like-minded people, we can blaze a trail in this exciting and transformative space.
That’s why I’ve created the DeFi Academy and committed time and resources to provide a platform for success that YOU can be a part of.
The right kind of education is critical and that’s why I’m really excited to sit down with Dan and pick his brains. He’s a leader and an expert and I promise this episode will provide as many clues and answers, insights and opinions needed to keep both new and old crypto enthusiasts satiated.
The Greatest Dislocation of Wealth in Human History is underway and you have the opportunity to be a part of it.
