Register now to hear insights from four of the industry's leading experts.
Finance Magnates
Several large-scale software exploitations and consequential thefts on DeFi platforms over the last several months have shown us that 'trustless' systems aren't as 'trustless' the may seem.
How can DeFi platforms be built and operated in a safe way? Who benefits from DeFi the most, and what role will these systems play in our future?
Finance Magnates is happy to present the next installment in our live webinar series: next week, we'll be joined by four of the cryptocurrency industry's most prominent experts--Teana Baker-Taylor, Alex Mashinsky, Brian Norton, and Lex Sokolin--to discuss an increasingly relevant topic in the cryptosphere: the ups and downs of decentralized financial systems, or 'DeFi.'
Join 4 top experts from across the cryptocurrency industry
Finance Magnates has hand-selected a group of experts to discuss the evolution of DeFi from different places in the DeFi ecosystem. Together, these four panelists offer a comprehensive view of how far DeFi has come, and how far it still needs to go.
Alex Mashinsky, founder and CEO of Celsius.
Alex Mashinsky is a serial entrepreneur and founder of seven New York City-based startups, raising more than $1 billion and exiting over $3 billion. One of the companies that Alex has founded, Celsius Network, runs on top of the Ethereum network.
Teana Baker-Taylor is the UK Director at cryptocurrency exchange Binance. Binance's ecosystem includes a decentralized exchange. Previously, Teana was the Executive Director and board member of Global Digital Finance, a not-for-profit initiative fostering discussion on global policy and governance for Blockchain and digital assets with policymakers, regulators, and industry participants.

Here is our conversation with Kieran Duff, who brings a rare dual view of the market as both a broker and a trader at Darwinex.

Kieran explains where Darwinex sits on the CFDs-broker-meets-funding spectrum, and how the model differs from the typical setups seen across the market.
We finish with a look at how he uses AI in his daily workflow — both inside the brokerage and in his own trading.
