UTXO's Daniel Hinton Discusses Bitcoin Market and Institutional Adoption

"Bitcoin plays on hard mode." Daniel Hinton, who previously managed global liquidity relationships at SFOX, explains the difficulty of keeping a 24/7 global market efficient without a clearinghouse outside the blockchain. He details the multi-percentage-point dislocations that were common among exchanges in 2018, their subsequent decline, and the perp market wick above $150,000 that appeared during the BitMEX wind-down on thin liquidity. Hosts Grace Remington and Sean Hagan delve into what this means for anyone using margin or stop losses.
