Weekly interview. Meet our CEO — VJ Angelo!
Dear Community!
We would like to introduce our CEO, VJ Angelo!
Co-founder of London Derivates Exchange (LDX). He has over 30 years’ experience in financial markets, developing indices, financial products, and market infrastructure, notably in currency and fixed income markets.
Here is a quick interview with our CEO, get to know him a little bit more…
- Vj, could you tell our community about your experience. Why did you choose this profession?
- I have been in the financial markets for over 30 years now. I’ve always tried to remain at the forefront of innovation and development, be that products or technology. The Crypto space attracted me for that reason, and Cryptoindex In particular. It was an opportunity to use my knowledge and experience in this exciting new market and project
- Very interesting. Now, you are CEO at Cryptoindex.io. Given your previous work experience, do you see the traditional financial industry and the crypto world ever aligning?
- Yes, I do. I see a lot of opportunities for both sides to benefit from each other. Crypto by adopting some of the regulation and best practice of financial services. The financial sector adopting the technology of the crypto space.
- What type of people (market segment) are you trying to attract to your product?
- We are looking at a very broad sector. Everyone from novices to industry professionals. Using both the CIX 100 token and in the future professional products, we will look to engage with first time Crypto users up to banking and asset managers to name a few. Along the way, we will also bring along the growing Crypto fund industry.
- Do you view Blackmoon and Crypto20 as competitors to Cryptoindex, or does your project fill another niche in the crypto-ecosystem?
- We are very different. All three have a purpose to serve, Cryptoindex is a much more sophisticated and broader index in many ways. We employ some of the basic index methodologies used elsewhere, but with the application of the Zorax AI algorithm, we are taking a much broader and deeper view of the market.
- What are your long-term plans for your product/company?
- While our immediate focus is on our ICO, we are looking at additional indices and ways to provide other professional products based on those indices. Though These Projects are a way off at the moment, they may include futures contracts in a very different form to those currently offered. We are also looking at a form of the security token in the future.
- Are you planning to create your blockchain system?
- We may investigate that at a later date, though it is not something we are focussing on right now.
- What do you think Cryptoindex’s future will be?
- I think it will play a vital part in the adoption of crypto into the mainstream of retail and professional finance. A product like this will enable a wide audience to track the performance of the crypto markets and understand what is happening behind just the top 10–20 tokens or coins. We believe we can play a part in this market similar to the well-known brands in the equity and bond markets
- Is there anything else you would like to share with our community?
I hope everyone has had a wonderful Christmas and wish you a prosperous New Year. I look forward to seeing all the readers joining us in the Cryptoindex community as we all help this exciting new market growth.
Thank you for your time! It was a pleasure to talk to you.
