What happens when a 20-year trading veteran who built FX platforms across Asia decides crypto needs fixing?
Our guest, Chris Soriano the CCO and Co-Founder of Bridgeport has seen it all - from the trading floors of traditional finance to the wild west of crypto infrastructure.
He's worked on Bitcoin products at massive FX venues and watched both worlds try to figure each other out. Now he's building the unsexy but critical stuff that lets big institutions actually trade crypto without losing their minds (or money).
This isn't your typical "crypto will change everything" conversation. We're talking about real problems like why trading firms have to park millions at different exchanges just to trade, how traditional markets solved issues crypto is still struggling with, and what institutional crypto trading actually looks like behind the scenes.
You'll hear stories from the trenches of both worlds, learn why the plumbing matters more than the fancy apps, and discover what it really takes to get institutions comfortable with crypto. Plus, find out why some of the biggest innovations in crypto aren't the ones making headlines.
If you've ever wondered what happens when Wall Street meets Web3, or why institutional adoption is taking so long, this episode breaks it all down in plain English.
No jargon, no hype - just honest insights from someone who's actually built this stuff.
