Doug Colkitt - The Evolution of Markets - [Invest Like the Best, EP. 255]

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">My guest today is</span> <a href="https://twitter.com/0xdoug"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Doug Colkitt</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">. Doug has spent his career searching for and trading inefficient markets, first at Citadel’s high-frequency trading group, then for himself, and then as an operator building CrocSwap - a decentralized exchange or DEX designed to bring modern functionality to crypto markets, which is closer to what large traders have come to expect from a modern electronic market like the NASDAQ. </span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">My interest in market infrastructure has continued to grow since my great conversation with FTX founder <a href= "https://www.joincolossus.com/episodes/48641353/bankman-fried-creating-a-perfect-market?tab=blocks"> Sam Bankman-Fried</a>. So my conversation with Doug covers the evolution of market and trading infrastructure. We unpack the trading stack as it exists today, dive into DeFi’s innovations, and explore the new category of single contract DEXs that Doug is creating. After learning so much from Doug about how markets function and how crypto markets should function, I became an investor in his new business via my venture capital firm Positive Sum. Please enjoy this great conversation with Doug Colkitt.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">For the full show notes, transcript, and links to the best content to learn more, check out the episode page</span> <a href= "https://www.joincolossus.com/episodes/76741581/colkitt-the-evolution-of-markets"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">here</span></a><span style= "font-weight: 400;">.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>-----</strong></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>This episode is brought to you by</strong> <a href= "https://www.tegus.co/patrick"><strong>Tegus</strong></a><strong>.
