Investor Spotlight #3 : Autonomy Capital
In this series, we introduce a selection of our CeFi & DeFi partners to the Alkemi Network community and invite them to discuss why they chose to partner with our project. For our next spotlight, we invited Jason of Autonomy Capital to share his insights on Alkemi Network, bridging CeFi to DeFi and what the future holds for financial markets.
Autonomy was founded by three seasoned crypto investors and have since added 2 more partners. With diverse backgrounds in marketing, physics, mathematics, finance, and computer science we are able to offer projects multiple perspectives and position them to succeed long term. We are a self-funded firm that aims not only to provide early round financial support to projects we engage but also to actively provide guidance through networking, marketing strategy, community management, and exchange listings.
What does ‘bridging CeFi to DeFi’ mean to you?
To me it means opportunity if I have to be concise. The DeFi ecosystem being bridged to the “outside/traditional” world has the potential to increase the liquidity in the space exponentially and this is important from a liability/risk management standpoint. With all the risks involved in crypto, it is reassuring to know that institutional and retail investors can co-exist on the same platform. Also, giving the option of being permissioned or permissionless allows the investors to make the decision that best fits their risk profile.
What do financial markets look like in 5 & 10 years from now?
5 year outlook- Inflation due to the pandemic has caused financial markets to froth and the US has resorted to negative interest rates in an attempt to stimulate the economy.
10 year outlook- the USD is on the verge of losing its place as the global reserve currency as more and more countries adopt BTC as a currency.
How do you see Alkemi Network influencing the capital markets revolution?
Ludwig Von Mises said “Economic history is the story of the gradual extension of the economic community beyond its original limits of the single household to embrace the nation and the world,” and crypto has extended the limits even further. Alkemi Network has positioned itself to allow institutions to operate within that extended space.
How has your experience working in the digital asset markets impacted your view of the world?
Involvement in crypto has changed our view of money in a huge way and it’s made us realize that gov’t sponsored currency is a means to control the general populous. Expanding on the first thought, if one pays attention they see the collusion that exists between world gov’ts and larger financial institutions as they’ve all resisted cryptocurrency for over a decade now.
