Full transcript
- 0:00Hello everyone, cp0x podcast number 22.
- 0:30And today we have a super guest, one of those who, I don't know, he's definitely in the top three of guests I've always wanted on our podcast, but haven't had.
- 0:39Evgeny Gaevoy. Hi, Genia.
- 0:41Hello.
- 0:42And with me hosting the podcast today will be Bobby Axe.
- 0:45Bobby, hi. Thank you so much for coming.
- 0:47Honestly, I was thinking about who I'd really like to have on our podcast.
- 0:51And truly, when I was making my list of interesting guests, you were in the top three.
- 0:55So thank you very much for taking the time to come here today.
- 0:58I hope it will be interesting for everyone.
- 1:00Could you please tell us a little bit about yourself to start, as much as you're able?
- 1:04Where are you originally from?
- 1:06Where did you study?
- 1:06How did your path develop?
- 1:08Your life's path?
- 1:09I am from Moscow.
- 1:10I studied at HSE for my bachelor's degree for the first four years.
- 1:14That was a long, long time ago, back when HSE was still, I don't know, a stronghold of libertarianism, or what's the Russian word for that.
- 1:21And I studied economics there until the year 2000, I believe.
- 1:27Pause.
- 1:28Then, for my master's degree, I went to Holland, specifically to Maastricht, for a single year, because the higher school of economics, it was an absolutely fantastic university.
- 1:36But I really didn't want to spend another two years studying hardcore mathematics there.
- 1:40I already wanted to start working somewhere.
- 1:43And so, my future wife and I found Maastricht, where we studied for one year.
- 1:48And then, we ended up staying in Holland for 10 years.
- 1:50Given that you studied at HSE, I'll take the liberty of asking you what your thoughts are on, well, this kind of unspoken rivalry between HSE and NES.
- 1:59What was it like?
- 2:00What was it like during your time?
- 2:02Back in those days, the new economics school was quite niche and relatively small.
- 2:06It wasn't just small, but it had this particular reputation, you know, that only very, you know, highly qualified PhD-level individuals were studying there.
- 2:12And still, you know, they were always delving into extremely abstract and high-level academic subjects.
- 2:17But the higher school of economics was a lot more.
- 2:20So, on the one hand, yes, there was, I suppose, a truly market-driven philosophy all through the 90s, the wild 90s, that the market should drive everything and all that.
- 2:29On the other hand, it's probably much more geared towards practical application, wouldn't you say?
- 2:34Meaning, like, finding a job, perhaps, in large corporations or even starting your own business.
- 2:38So, it's much more focused on those kinds of things.
- 2:41But NES, I get the impression, was more about, I don't know, more academic or scientific pursuits.
- 2:46That's fantastic.
- 2:47You're heading off to London.
- 2:48What was happening after that?
- 2:49So, first, I was in Amsterdam for 10 years, precisely 10 years.
- 2:55I studied for my master's in Maastricht.
- 2:57And then, after that, I went, immediately after that, I went to work for Optiver, which was then, and still remains, one of the main market makers.
- 3:05And I was there, yes, exactly 10 years.
- 3:07I was building their ETF market-making business.
- 3:10You studied 10 years.
- 3:12No, no.
- 3:12I'm the one who worked for 10 years.
- 3:14Okay.
- 3:14Could you please tell me what that is and what exactly you were doing there?
- 3:17What was the position you started with?
- 3:18How you ended up there in the first place?
- 3:20How the initial selection process unfolded and what your responsibilities were, what your initial tasks involved, and what you ultimately achieved by the end?
- 3:27I suppose I'll start by mentioning that, essentially, I was facing, you know, a significant dilemma about what to pursue after completing my master's degree in Maastricht.
- 3:35I started reading all sorts of books.
- 3:36I don't know.
- 3:37I refer to them as finance fiction.
- 3:38And, you know, the most well-known one probably is.
- 3:41So, there are all these books about, you know, either trading firms or how investment banking has operated or operates currently.
- 3:49And in many of them, the main narrative, I guess, was that a person comes into this, you know, let's say, an investment bank, and then they grow, they climb the ranks, they make a whole lot of money.
- 3:59And then after, I don't know, five or 10 years, they become disillusioned and move on to something else.
- 4:06And I became very interested because the requests were, I don't know, I think I had an inferiority complex for a very, very long time.
- 4:13My financial demands were quite modest.
- 4:15Okay, challenge accepted.
- 4:16I'm going to go work in finance, and we'll just have to see whether I'll be disappointed with that choice in 10 years or not.
- 4:23However, getting into investment banking proved to be quite challenging.
- 4:26And besides, in Holland, that wasn't necessarily the most interesting path for me.
- 4:31However, what the Netherlands is particularly well-known for are HFTs, that is, high-frequency trading firms.
- 4:36Essentially, they are primarily located in the Netherlands and America, and in England as well, actually.
- 4:41But these three countries have the highest concentration of these firms.
- 4:44That's just how it historically developed.
- 4:47And I applied to one HFT firm.
- 4:50But what I immediately liked about them, what really stood out, was their application process.
- 4:55They explicitly, in no uncertain terms, told us,
- 4:58We absolutely do not care what your educational background is.
- 5:02We absolutely do not care what your grades are.
- 5:04You just come to us, and you take the most basic...
- 5:07Sorry, I don't even know how to say it in Russian.
- 5:09So, basically, it's about fundamental basic arithmetic.
- 5:13You come in, and you have to answer 80 questions.
- 5:15Like, very, very basic arithmetic, for example.
- 5:18202 multiplied by 7, and you're given just 2 minutes for these 80 questions.
- 5:22I don't know.
- 5:22It was something so, so incredibly hardcore.
- 5:24You come in, and you do 3 rounds of these questions.
- 5:27So, the first round is just basic arithmetic.
- 5:29The other rounds, they were like, how would you say that in Russian?
- 5:32So, basically, when you have to work on number sequences,
- 5:35how you would go about continuing them.
- 5:37What I mean is, these were 3 very, very quick rounds.
- 5:40I essentially trained on them, thanks to my wife, among others.
- 5:44So, for the first, I don't know, 2 or 3 days before the first interview,
- 5:48I was just solving countless, countless, countless, simple arithmetic problems.
- 5:52I got through, I aced it, and then the final interview was just,
- 5:57you just come in and talk to the founder.
- 6:00You talk, like, I don't know, to the managers.
- 6:02You sit on the trading floor.
- 6:04You ask them questions.
- 6:05So, they're trying to figure out whether you'll become a trader or not.
- 6:09Among the highlights, the most interesting thing was that
- 6:14there's a founder who isn't as heavily involved in the business anymore,
- 6:18but back then, he was quite passionate.
- 6:20I met the top 100 richest people in the Netherlands.
- 6:23I played a game of chess, for example.
- 6:25It was quite enjoyable, actually.
- 6:27Well, the main highlight from this entire interview was that
- 6:30we're sitting in a room, and, like, they ask me,
- 6:34what do you think is the main task?
- 6:36What's the main goal for Optiver?
- 6:38And, like, on the one hand,
- 6:39I don't know how they teach you in university.
- 6:42Like, I don't know, things like increasing shareholder value,
- 6:45or, I don't know, something like world peace.
- 6:48I don't know, something like that.
- 6:50From their website, I understood that they are very,
- 6:55I don't know, direct people,
- 6:56and generally, the Dutch are quite direct.
- 6:58So, I said, okay, I think for Optiver, it's about making money.
- 7:01And they both broke into smiles,
- 7:03and after that, they hired me.
- 7:04And, essentially, when I joined them,
- 7:11it was very interesting,
- 7:13because I was with them for 10 years.
- 7:16And in those 10 years,
- 7:17they went from a late-stage startup,
- 7:19meaning when I joined,
- 7:21there were 300 people on the team,
- 7:23and when I left, there were 1,500.
- 7:25So, it was between a late-stage startup
- 7:27and a proper incorporated company.
- 7:30When I was already leaving,
- 7:32when I was on my way out,
- 7:34Lions appeared, Prop Riskman appeared,
- 7:36a bunch of these tedious processes emerged,
- 7:40and it was very interesting to see this company,
- 7:42how it grows from something very interesting
- 7:45and dynamic into something much more established.
- 7:48These are exactly the processes.
- 7:50To be honest, I'm experiencing myself right now.
- 7:53And you said it was interesting.
- 7:55Well, yes, probably interesting,
- 7:57but I honestly don't like it from my perspective,
- 7:59because I really, I honestly remember
- 8:00joining a startup that had 50 people,
- 8:03and now they have 800,
- 8:05and these processes don't resonate with me at all.
- 8:08I'm like, damn, every day,
- 8:09if it weren't for the visa,
- 8:11I'd be convincing myself not to quit.
- 8:13Was it the same for you,
- 8:14or did you really like these processes?
- 8:16Well, I liked them back then,
- 8:19but now, looking back,
- 8:21I mean, when you're building your own company,
- 8:23you start to understand,
- 8:24okay, how do you grow further?
- 8:26I'm not sure.
- 8:27I mean, Wintermute has grown over eight years,
- 8:30you know, from zero to,
- 8:32now we have almost 150 people.
- 8:35And every single year,
- 8:37I think about how I can grow,
- 8:39but at the same time,
- 8:40not become this corporate boring monster.
- 8:42And so I try to learn
- 8:43from other people's mistakes,
- 8:45more or less.
- 8:46Yes, in that sense,
- 8:47it's certainly an interesting experience.
- 8:49I'm sure to observe and reflect
- 8:53on how to transform from a company
- 8:54where you know everyone
- 8:55to one where you certainly won't know everyone by face
- 8:58or even what anyone is doing
- 8:59at any given moment,
- 9:00how to build this structure.
- 9:02Please tell me what you did at Optiver,
- 9:05just a quick run-through of your career progression.
- 9:07I doubt you just arrived
- 9:08and were immediately handed major responsibilities,
- 9:11or I don't know,
- 9:12maybe you impressed them so much with your answer
- 9:14that they told you just make money,
- 9:15that's all.
- 9:16Well, Optiver then and now
- 9:20was basically quite well known for options trading.
- 9:23And it just so happened that,
- 9:25I don't know,
- 9:26there was a training program part of it
- 9:29that lasted about two months.
- 9:31During this training program,
- 9:32they kind of, I don't know,
- 9:33somehow they sorted me out.
- 9:35Options, you see,
- 9:36are a very tactical thing.
- 9:38And they sent me,
- 9:40not to Options,
- 9:40but to Delta One.
- 9:41What I mean is,
- 9:42it's essentially
- 9:43when you're trading financial instruments
- 9:45that are very strongly correlated
- 9:47with one another.
- 9:48And this Delta One team,
- 9:51at that moment,
- 9:52it was mostly,
- 9:53I don't know,
- 9:54old-timers,
- 9:55like old-timers,
- 9:55not that they were 50 years old,
- 9:57but that they had,
- 9:58you know,
- 9:58five, seven,
- 9:59ten years of experience.
- 10:00So I was the first junior there
- 10:02in about three years,
- 10:03probably.
- 10:04After me,
- 10:05they hired more,
- 10:06but I was the very first of a kind,
- 10:08essentially,
- 10:08there for a very,
- 10:09very long time.
- 10:10And they put me in,
- 10:11initially,
- 10:12they just gave me,
- 10:13I don't know,
- 10:13a couple of shares.
- 10:14I even remember which ones.
- 10:16Fortis,
- 10:17there was such a Belgian bank,
- 10:18which someone later bought.
- 10:20I was arbitraging
- 10:21these Fortis
- 10:23between two or three exchanges
- 10:25and there,
- 10:26they gave me tools
- 10:27and I don't know,
- 10:28all sorts of,
- 10:29and all that.
- 10:31And they said,
- 10:32here you go there.
- 10:33You could add
- 10:34all sorts of plugins
- 10:35to that spreadsheet
- 10:36and just do whatever you please.
- 10:38But I really enjoyed it
- 10:39because it was,
- 10:40I don't know,
- 10:40it felt very entrepreneurial.
- 10:42That is,
- 10:42it was truly,
- 10:43truly interesting to do.
- 10:45And they essentially gave you
- 10:46complete carte blanche
- 10:47to do absolutely
- 10:49anything you wanted.
- 10:50And that's how I started.
- 10:51And later,
- 10:52I was part of a team
- 10:53that arbitraged
- 10:54various futures
- 10:55on the main European indices.
- 10:57I was with them
- 10:59for about six months,
- 11:01I guess.
- 11:02That was interesting too.
- 11:03Then I was moved
- 11:03to a spot desk
- 11:04that on the one hand
- 11:06traded European ETFs
- 11:08and on the other hand
- 11:09performed arbitrage
- 11:10on these indices,
- 11:11futures indices
- 11:12on underlying,
- 11:13well,
- 11:14like baskets.
- 11:15So there is
- 11:16the Euro Stoxx 50 index
- 11:18is a key benchmark.
- 11:19It represents
- 11:20the top 50 leading
- 11:21European stocks.
- 11:21So you would acquire baskets
- 11:23containing these 50
- 11:23individual stocks
- 11:24and then you would
- 11:25systematically arbitrage
- 11:26this entire basket
- 11:26against its corresponding
- 11:27futures contracts.
- 11:29And it was quite a tedious spot,
- 11:31you know,
- 11:31my predecessor in this very spot
- 11:33resigned because he was so bored
- 11:34and he couldn't earn
- 11:35anything at all there,
- 11:36not a thing.
- 11:37And he ended up
- 11:37with a very small bonus
- 11:38and he was,
- 11:39I don't know,
- 11:40extremely disappointed
- 11:40with Optiver,
- 11:41with Life
- 11:42and everything else probably.
- 11:43And I liked it.
- 11:45because again,
- 11:46they were trading,
- 11:47I guess,
- 11:48in blocks.
- 11:48While I don't know,
- 11:49there were over 200 available.
- 11:51They only traded
- 11:52the 20 simplest ones.
- 11:54And on the other hand,
- 11:55these baskets
- 11:55with which you constantly
- 11:57have arbitrage,
- 11:58you constantly have
- 11:59all sorts of,
- 12:00I don't know,
- 12:01interesting corporate actions
- 12:02happening.
- 12:03So,
- 12:04I guess for me,
- 12:05this is probably
- 12:06the biggest highlight,
- 12:07not even just
- 12:08my Optiva career,
- 12:09I don't know,
- 12:10my entire life's career
- 12:11or even just my life
- 12:12in general really.
- 12:13There was a very interesting
- 12:14story involving Volkswagen.
- 12:16At one point,
- 12:18Volkswagen experienced
- 12:18a significant short squeeze.
- 12:20The short squeeze occurs
- 12:21when people have
- 12:22generally borrowed
- 12:22a large number
- 12:23of Volkswagen shares
- 12:24and then find themselves
- 12:25unable to return them.
- 12:27This forced them
- 12:27to buy those shares
- 12:28back on the open market.
- 12:29And this,
- 12:30at one point,
- 12:31made Volkswagen
- 12:31for one day,
- 12:32as far as I remember.
- 12:33Maybe for a couple of days,
- 12:35the largest company
- 12:35by market capitalization
- 12:37in the entire world.
- 12:38Just because of this,
- 12:39this very strange situation
- 12:40and I was sitting
- 12:41right in the middle of it
- 12:43because I was trading
- 12:44the German index
- 12:45against a German basket.
- 12:47Without telling anyone,
- 12:49I shorted this Volkswagen,
- 12:52but it was impossible
- 12:53to short it through shares
- 12:54because they couldn't
- 12:55be borrowed from anyone.
- 12:57So,
- 12:57I sold the German index,
- 12:59the entire basket
- 13:00except for Volkswagen.
- 13:01I had,
- 13:02you know,
- 13:02a synthetic position,
- 13:04but I didn't tell anyone
- 13:05about it.
- 13:06For some reason,
- 13:07well,
- 13:08I don't know.
- 13:08I was young,
- 13:09inexperienced back then.
- 13:11I thought,
- 13:11like,
- 13:11I remember I took this position,
- 13:13then the market closed
- 13:14and I was walking home
- 13:16thinking,
- 13:16damn,
- 13:17I've never been so sure
- 13:18about anything,
- 13:19so incredibly confident
- 13:20as I am right now.
- 13:21I think,
- 13:22actually,
- 13:22I never had that kind of feeling
- 13:24again in my life
- 13:25after that.
- 13:26And,
- 13:27the very next day,
- 13:28I came back to work.
- 13:29Volkswagen collapsed
- 13:31because people had somehow
- 13:32found a way to expose it.
- 13:34I earned half a million there,
- 13:36which is a really,
- 13:36really significant
- 13:37sum of money.
- 13:38Then all these senior colleagues
- 13:39came up,
- 13:40patted me on the shoulder,
- 13:41said,
- 13:41well done,
- 13:42and all that.
- 13:43And then,
- 13:44well,
- 13:44yeah,
- 13:44just a couple of hours later,
- 13:46the risk manager
- 13:47and the head of trading
- 13:48came to me
- 13:48and they said,
- 13:49look,
- 13:49Genia,
- 13:49this all certainly
- 13:50seems quite wonderful.
- 13:50It's true,
- 13:51but we really should tell you
- 13:52something important
- 13:52if you were to take on
- 13:53such a large position.
- 13:55And,
- 13:56overall,
- 13:57it didn't affect
- 13:58my career
- 14:00very positively.
- 14:01In fact,
- 14:01it affected it
- 14:02quite negatively.
- 14:03But,
- 14:03as a form of trading,
- 14:05it really,
- 14:05really helped me
- 14:06because,
- 14:07as I said,
- 14:07I was,
- 14:08I don't know,
- 14:08not entirely confident
- 14:10in myself.
- 14:10And this really helped
- 14:11with my confidence,
- 14:12I think.
- 14:13Honestly,
- 14:13I don't really know
- 14:14all these kinds of crazy things.
- 14:16When I eventually got involved
- 14:17in crypto,
- 14:17it also helped me out
- 14:18a great deal
- 14:18because when you understand
- 14:20how,
- 14:20on the one hand,
- 14:21to effectively react
- 14:22to these crazy situations
- 14:23and then,
- 14:24on the other hand,
- 14:24when you possess
- 14:25the absolute certainty
- 14:26that there's a trade,
- 14:27you absolutely must execute it.
- 14:29And if you are truly confident
- 14:30in your decision,
- 14:31you should simply go for it.
- 14:33Were you working
- 14:34during the 2008 crisis?
- 14:36I came in 2007.
- 14:38The crisis then hit in 2008.
- 14:41So,
- 14:41I was right there at that time,
- 14:43a complete junior.
- 14:44It was quite fun.
- 14:46How did the company
- 14:46survive the crisis?
- 14:47They didn't have any
- 14:48risk management in place
- 14:49and everything was fine.
- 14:50No,
- 14:51it was,
- 14:52well,
- 14:52it was really interesting
- 14:53because there was
- 14:54wild volatility in 2008.
- 14:56And it was also such,
- 14:57I don't know,
- 14:58a very interesting
- 14:59learning moment
- 15:00because 2008
- 15:00was absolutely crazy.
- 15:02Those desks,
- 15:03I mean,
- 15:03there were absolutely
- 15:04insane opportunities.
- 15:05I don't know.
- 15:06Every week,
- 15:06the company earned
- 15:07a ton of money.
- 15:08But again,
- 15:08that's where the parallels
- 15:09with crypto come in,
- 15:11that the company,
- 15:11everyone received
- 15:12very,
- 15:12very excellent bonuses.
- 15:14Then 2009 happened
- 15:16and all the trading
- 15:17volumes disappeared,
- 15:18plummeting by 50%
- 15:19or even more.
- 15:20In 2009,
- 15:21if there was a bonus
- 15:22at all,
- 15:22it was,
- 15:23I don't know,
- 15:24absolutely,
- 15:25completely minimal.
- 15:26And then later on,
- 15:27I went through
- 15:28a similar experience
- 15:29with crypto,
- 15:30like after 2022,
- 15:32for instance.
- 15:32Now,
- 15:33we'll most likely
- 15:33also see that
- 15:34this upcoming year
- 15:35will potentially
- 15:36not be very interesting.
- 15:38Basically,
- 15:38market makers
- 15:39always go through
- 15:40these cycles.
- 15:41If you have
- 15:42a very good year,
- 15:43but everything else
- 15:44is collapsing,
- 15:45then the next year
- 15:45will likely not
- 15:46be very interesting.
- 15:48There's so much
- 15:49I'd like to ask you
- 15:49about Optiver,
- 15:51but we're quite
- 15:51limited on time,
- 15:52so let's move on
- 15:54to crypto times.
- 15:55At what point
- 15:56did you first
- 15:56get into crypto?
- 15:58I don't think
- 15:58the first thing
- 15:59you learned
- 15:59about crypto
- 16:00was like
- 16:01as soon as you learned
- 16:02and a month later
- 16:03you went uncreated
- 16:04meant of you.
- 16:05So you must have
- 16:05heard about it
- 16:06somewhere before
- 16:07and it somehow
- 16:08started appearing
- 16:09in your head
- 16:09and you thought
- 16:10about it.
- 16:11Tell me,
- 16:11when did you first
- 16:12learn about crypto?
- 16:13In what context?
- 16:14And how did your
- 16:15relationship with crypto
- 16:16develop further?
- 16:17In 15,
- 16:1916 most likely.
- 16:21Then I was initially,
- 16:23I guess,
- 16:24a Bitcoin guy,
- 16:25unfortunately.
- 16:26I mean,
- 16:26the technology
- 16:27hooked me.
- 16:29But again,
- 16:29like the last,
- 16:30I don't know,
- 16:31things about Optiverr
- 16:32where Optiverr
- 16:33was such a very
- 16:34contrarian environment.
- 16:36I mean,
- 16:36people,
- 16:37like all the traders,
- 16:38I don't know,
- 16:39they all just made fun
- 16:39of Bitcoin
- 16:40saying it was
- 16:41an absolute joke.
- 16:42And then,
- 16:44you know,
- 16:44when your senior
- 16:44colleagues do that,
- 16:45you also don't take
- 16:46it very seriously anymore.
- 16:48And so,
- 16:49while I was at Optiverr,
- 16:50I also approached it
- 16:51not very seriously,
- 16:52but I actually
- 16:53liked blockchain.
- 16:54I mean,
- 16:54I understood that
- 16:55blockchain,
- 16:56it really has the
- 16:57potential to disrupt
- 16:58everything.
- 16:58I mean,
- 16:59it can disrupt like
- 17:00and
- 17:01there's a lot
- 17:03that can be disrupted
- 17:04with blockchain technology,
- 17:05but I was just
- 17:05looking at it as,
- 17:06well,
- 17:07something,
- 17:07essentially,
- 17:08what's happening
- 17:08right now
- 17:09with stable coins.
- 17:09I thought,
- 17:10okay,
- 17:10this is
- 17:11only what can be done
- 17:13on the blockchain
- 17:13matters.
- 17:14The rest is
- 17:14complete nonsense.
- 17:16Then,
- 17:16I left Optiverr
- 17:18and I moved to London
- 17:20with my family.
- 17:21Pause.
- 17:22I had like
- 17:23more time to experiment.
- 17:25Pause.
- 17:25And,
- 17:26you know,
- 17:26fewer people around
- 17:27who would probably
- 17:28tell me what was
- 17:29permissible
- 17:29and what wasn't.
- 17:30Pause.
- 17:31And at that moment,
- 17:32I created an account
- 17:33and bought a very small
- 17:34amount of Bitcoin,
- 17:35just I don't know,
- 17:36to see what would happen.
- 17:37And literally,
- 17:38a week later,
- 17:39its price had gone up a lot.
- 17:40It was already April of 1917.
- 17:42And this really,
- 17:43really grabbed my attention.
- 17:45In traditional finance,
- 17:46you might have,
- 17:47I don't know,
- 17:47maybe 10 days a year
- 17:48when things are interesting
- 17:49and the rest of the time
- 17:50is quite dull.
- 17:51But in crypto,
- 17:52it very quickly became obvious
- 17:53to me that
- 17:53you simply have 10 days a year
- 17:55when nothing happens
- 17:56and the rest of the time,
- 17:58something quite hardcore
- 17:59is always going on.
- 18:00So this volatility,
- 18:01it really grabbed my attention
- 18:02very strongly from the outset.
- 18:04And I,
- 18:04you know,
- 18:05continued not really fully believing
- 18:06in this entire endeavor,
- 18:08but it became quite clear to me
- 18:09that trading this,
- 18:10trading it
- 18:11could potentially be
- 18:12quite an interesting
- 18:12and enjoyable experience.
- 18:14And I connected with a colleague
- 18:15who had also departed
- 18:16from Optiverr just recently
- 18:17and we decided,
- 18:18okay,
- 18:19why don't we give it a shot
- 18:20and try to build a market maker
- 18:21in the crypto space?
- 18:22So it seems you did
- 18:24just like in those books
- 18:25you were talking about,
- 18:26that means you worked
- 18:26for 10 years
- 18:27and then you're done.
- 18:28You can now move on
- 18:28to something completely different.
- 18:30Yes,
- 18:30I originally,
- 18:31I left that place
- 18:32because I didn't want
- 18:33to pursue a career
- 18:34in trading.
- 18:35So I was almost
- 18:37completely disillusioned
- 18:38with all of it.
- 18:39I even went through
- 18:40several rounds
- 18:41of interviews
- 18:42at these top consulting firms.
- 18:44I think I made it
- 18:45to the very last round
- 18:46at McKinsey,
- 18:47but fortunately,
- 18:48they didn't hire me
- 18:49again.
- 18:50So I tried many,
- 18:52many different things,
- 18:53but nothing really
- 18:54clicked for me.
- 18:55Consulting didn't hire me
- 18:57and I had to do something
- 18:58with my life.
- 18:59And then Bitcoin
- 19:00finally made
- 19:00a significant move.
- 19:02Do I understand correctly
- 19:03that you are,
- 19:04that is,
- 19:05you found a person
- 19:05with whom you were
- 19:06already acquainted
- 19:08through Optiver
- 19:09and you both decided
- 19:10to create Wintermute
- 19:11at that moment?
- 19:12Well,
- 19:12in principle,
- 19:12yes,
- 19:13that's right.
- 19:13Well,
- 19:13the decision,
- 19:14you could say,
- 19:15was mostly my own.
- 19:16My colleague didn't really
- 19:17have anything else
- 19:17pressing to do,
- 19:18so he happily joined us.
- 19:19Then,
- 19:20after another six months
- 19:21had passed,
- 19:21we brought in
- 19:22another external colleague
- 19:23who is still with us
- 19:24to this day,
- 19:24Johan.
- 19:25We brought him on board
- 19:26because,
- 19:27you see,
- 19:27I had my initial trading
- 19:29expertise from Citigroup
- 19:30and I also had coding experience
- 19:32and Johan,
- 19:33for his part,
- 19:33contributed the fundraising aspect.
- 19:35That is to say,
- 19:36he helped us raise
- 19:37our two funding rounds.
- 19:38What was the original idea
- 19:40behind the Wintermute?
- 19:41So when,
- 19:42let's say,
- 19:43you weren't accepted
- 19:43at McKinsey,
- 19:44you thought,
- 19:45I'll do something of my own,
- 19:46create something new,
- 19:48what was it,
- 19:48what was the core idea?
- 19:49Was it just a market-making firm
- 19:51or something else
- 19:52or some kind of,
- 19:53well,
- 19:53you knew there was volatility there,
- 19:55I assume,
- 19:56and on what,
- 19:57on what was the initial thesis
- 19:59supposed to be based
- 20:00that you were forming
- 20:01some new entity of your own?
- 20:02I started out thinking,
- 20:04okay,
- 20:05we'll simply be doing arbitrage.
- 20:06Then throughout the year 2017,
- 20:08I more or less,
- 20:09you know,
- 20:10came to fully understand
- 20:11that crypto isn't exclusively Bitcoin.
- 20:14There's a whole lot of other things
- 20:15happening in that space.
- 20:16That's when the ICO boom began
- 20:18and I started reading
- 20:20at that point
- 20:21that we had to root out
- 20:23very dubious market makers
- 20:25who were,
- 20:25you know,
- 20:26doing pump and dump schemes,
- 20:27trading and all that.
- 20:29I thought,
- 20:29okay,
- 20:29maybe we could build
- 20:30an entire business
- 20:31around more compliant
- 20:33ethical market making
- 20:34for these tokens.
- 20:35our very first proposal,
- 20:37which we sent out
- 20:38to all potential investors
- 20:39and from which
- 20:40we successfully raised capital.
- 20:42And in essence,
- 20:42it was focused on the idea
- 20:43that we would be performing
- 20:44market making
- 20:45for these specific ICOs.
- 20:46But by the time
- 20:47we started raising,
- 20:48it was already 2018.
- 20:50All ICOs were more or less
- 20:52dying out.
- 20:53And very quickly,
- 20:54we had to pivot
- 20:55essentially back into
- 20:57prop trading,
- 20:58back into token market making
- 21:01because all ICOs had died.
- 21:03And then several years later,
- 21:05we actually returned
- 21:06to market making
- 21:08just on a smaller scale.
- 21:10Was it relatively easy
- 21:11for you to raise a round
- 21:12due to your background?
- 21:14It was not easy at all.
- 21:15We were actually
- 21:16very, very lucky,
- 21:17to be honest.
- 21:18Our seed round
- 21:19and then,
- 21:20you know,
- 21:20our extension round,
- 21:22those were all just angels.
- 21:24So actually,
- 21:26we were lucky
- 21:27that these were people
- 21:28who were more than
- 21:30just the usual crowd here.
- 21:31They had their own businesses
- 21:33and they were doing market making.
- 21:35but not in crypto,
- 21:36rather in sports betting.
- 21:38So they had market making
- 21:39experience in sports betting,
- 21:40meaning they truly
- 21:41understood market making.
- 21:42They themselves
- 21:43were not directly involved
- 21:44in crypto,
- 21:45but it was quite clear to them
- 21:46that something could
- 21:47obviously be achieved there.
- 21:49Well, I mean,
- 21:50almost every venture fund
- 21:51we talked to,
- 21:52they basically dismissed us
- 21:53saying market making
- 21:55in principle
- 21:56isn't a very venture
- 21:57investable business.
- 21:59And on the one hand,
- 21:59we were constantly
- 22:00having to pitch
- 22:01our market making operations
- 22:02to external entities.
- 22:03If this venture capital fund
- 22:04wasn't specifically involved
- 22:05in the crypto space,
- 22:06it was simply impossible.
- 22:07Angels, you know,
- 22:08we actually managed
- 22:08to secure two funding rounds
- 22:09thanks to their crucial support.
- 22:11Cool.
- 22:12So I think
- 22:13maybe we can do
- 22:14a little spin-off here
- 22:16about what market making
- 22:17actually is
- 22:18because we know
- 22:19that in our space
- 22:20there's quite a varied
- 22:22understanding,
- 22:23well, actually
- 22:24a very different one,
- 22:25I believe,
- 22:26of what people
- 22:27put into this concept.
- 22:28I mean,
- 22:28I know that in TradFi
- 22:29it's understood
- 22:30in one specific way.
- 22:31For retail traders,
- 22:32a market maker
- 22:33is often seen
- 22:33as some kind of mythical,
- 22:35all-powerful entity,
- 22:36a supernatural force
- 22:37that completely controls
- 22:38the market
- 22:38and does exactly
- 22:39as it pleases.
- 22:40There are many such tales
- 22:40and legends circulating.
- 22:42Could you please explain
- 22:42what market making
- 22:43actually is,
- 22:44what its primary objective is
- 22:45and how you personally
- 22:46interpret the term
- 22:47market making?
- 22:48Also,
- 22:48what did and still does
- 22:49Wintermute do in this field,
- 22:50I presume?
- 22:51This is specifically
- 22:52about market making
- 22:54and then we'll move on
- 22:55to what Wintermute
- 22:55actually does.
- 22:56Actually,
- 22:57you know,
- 22:57I don't know,
- 22:58sometimes people distinguish
- 22:59market making
- 23:00and trading,
- 23:01but in reality
- 23:01it's more or less
- 23:02the same thing.
- 23:03You can't really do
- 23:04one without the other.
- 23:05There were individual
- 23:07market makers
- 23:08but like,
- 23:08okay,
- 23:09starting with TradFi
- 23:10you make markets
- 23:11meaning you show
- 23:12bids and offers
- 23:13and essentially,
- 23:14essentially in most
- 23:15TradFi markets
- 23:16and actually in crypto too,
- 23:18when you trade with someone,
- 23:19when you buy
- 23:20or sell something
- 23:21like,
- 23:22I don't know,
- 23:22buying a Tesla
- 23:23for example
- 23:24or buying,
- 23:25selling,
- 23:26I don't know,
- 23:26some ETF
- 23:27on the S&P,
- 23:28you will practically
- 23:30always be trading
- 23:31with a market maker.
- 23:32You won't be,
- 23:33you know,
- 23:33peer-to-peer
- 23:34with just any seller
- 23:35or buyer.
- 23:36Most likely,
- 23:36you'll be trading
- 23:37with a market maker
- 23:38and in fact,
- 23:39the main function
- 23:39of a market maker
- 23:40is let's say
- 23:41you have Tesla,
- 23:42you have,
- 23:42you know,
- 23:43a huge number of buyers
- 23:44and a huge number
- 23:45of sellers.
- 23:46Perhaps you don't have
- 23:47any buyers
- 23:47but there is a seller
- 23:48available
- 23:49and essentially
- 23:50the market maker's role
- 23:51is to buy
- 23:52from one person
- 23:54immediately
- 23:54and then sell
- 23:55to another
- 23:56and to hold
- 23:57that risk
- 23:57for a minute
- 23:58or 10 seconds
- 23:59or even 10 minutes
- 24:00for as long
- 24:01as it takes.
- 24:03Another way
- 24:03to look at it
- 24:04as it were
- 24:05if you're just
- 24:05a regular trader,
- 24:07you know,
- 24:07doing technical analysis
- 24:09or something like that,
- 24:10what you're trying
- 24:10to do is
- 24:11you go to the market,
- 24:12you ask for the spread,
- 24:14you know,
- 24:14you buy,
- 24:15you buy this Tesla
- 24:16and you hope,
- 24:17you know,
- 24:18in a minute,
- 24:1910 minutes
- 24:19or even a year
- 24:20to sell it for more.
- 24:22So,
- 24:23you lose
- 24:23a little bit
- 24:24at the beginning
- 24:25hoping to make
- 24:26a lot of money
- 24:27or not so much,
- 24:28it doesn't really matter.
- 24:29A market maker,
- 24:30however,
- 24:30does the exact opposite.
- 24:32That is,
- 24:32he constantly collects
- 24:33this spread
- 24:35from everyone
- 24:35who buys from you
- 24:36or sells to you
- 24:37and you try your best
- 24:38not to lose this spread
- 24:40during the day.
- 24:41So,
- 24:41you're making
- 24:43just a very small amount
- 24:44of profit
- 24:44on every single trade
- 24:45and then you manage
- 24:46your risk
- 24:47very carefully
- 24:47so that you don't end up
- 24:49losing that money.
- 24:50Essentially,
- 24:50this is the entire
- 24:51business model
- 24:51of market makers,
- 24:53you know.
- 24:53Actually,
- 24:55it's quite similar
- 24:56in crypto as well
- 24:56and then you have,
- 24:57I don't know,
- 24:58many different options.
- 24:59On the one hand,
- 25:00you could simply
- 25:00just show,
- 25:01offer the absolute classic
- 25:03of all classics.
- 25:04Market maker,
- 25:04if we go to DeFi,
- 25:06for example,
- 25:06you'd have something
- 25:07like Uniswap.
- 25:09Market makers
- 25:09in Uniswap
- 25:10liquidity provider pools
- 25:12don't really let
- 25:13liquidity fail,
- 25:14they usually arbitrage it.
- 25:16Essentially,
- 25:17arbitrage is what
- 25:18market makers
- 25:19do very often
- 25:19and in fact,
- 25:20all this market maker
- 25:22activity is in essence
- 25:23creating arbitrage
- 25:24for themselves too
- 25:25because if someone
- 25:27trades with you
- 25:28at your quotation,
- 25:30essentially,
- 25:30they are creating
- 25:31arbitrage.
- 25:32Very often,
- 25:33you know,
- 25:33the market maker's
- 25:34primary role
- 25:34is to take on
- 25:35this inherent risk,
- 25:36this temporal risk
- 25:37that exists
- 25:38between the buyers
- 25:38and the sellers.
- 25:39Sometimes this particular
- 25:40risk lasts
- 25:41for mere seconds
- 25:41or just minutes.
- 25:42At other times,
- 25:43this risk can even
- 25:44extend for several days.
- 25:45Could you please tell me
- 25:46who are the most
- 25:47common clients
- 25:48of market makers?
- 25:49Who exactly do
- 25:50market makers provide
- 25:51this service to?
- 25:52What are the different
- 25:52types of clients
- 25:53and what distinguishes them?
- 25:54Well, let's begin
- 25:55by discussing
- 25:56who exactly
- 25:56their clients are.
- 26:01I'll start by saying
- 26:02that you don't
- 26:03necessarily have
- 26:03to be our client.
- 26:04What I mean is
- 26:05we can market make
- 26:06any token
- 26:07that we choose.
- 26:08We don't necessarily
- 26:09need to collaborate
- 26:10with a project
- 26:11in order to list
- 26:12a new token.
- 26:13What we essentially
- 26:14need is some
- 26:15inventory post
- 26:17that is
- 26:18a token supply
- 26:19available somewhere
- 26:20post which we could
- 26:21I don't know
- 26:21post perhaps
- 26:22borrow from someone
- 26:23or the simplest
- 26:24option would be
- 26:24to sell perpetuals
- 26:25and then buy
- 26:26the tokens
- 26:26for instance.
- 26:27And then
- 26:28as a result
- 26:30we end up with
- 26:30what we call
- 26:32spot or
- 26:33spot inventory.
- 26:34In fact,
- 26:34most market makers
- 26:35acquire their inventory
- 26:36precisely through
- 26:37this method.
- 26:38They sell
- 26:38perpetual contracts
- 26:39and buy spot.
- 26:40So with the majority
- 26:42of tokens
- 26:42that we trade
- 26:43we don't really
- 26:44have any agreements
- 26:44with the projects
- 26:45we just trade them.
- 26:47Sometimes
- 26:47especially before
- 26:49the TGE
- 26:49that is to say
- 26:51prior to the
- 26:52token receiving
- 26:53its initial listing
- 26:54projects
- 26:55very frequently
- 26:55engage with
- 26:56market makers
- 26:57and it so happens
- 26:57that many
- 26:58well almost all
- 26:59decentralized exchanges
- 27:00make this
- 27:01well a fundamental
- 27:02requirement
- 27:03that you must have
- 27:04at least one
- 27:05and ideally
- 27:06two or three
- 27:06market makers
- 27:07before you.
- 27:08How will you
- 27:09list it?
- 27:10Because for
- 27:11centralized exchanges
- 27:12it's crucial
- 27:13that when
- 27:15a token
- 27:15lists
- 27:16you have
- 27:17an offer
- 27:17you know
- 27:18a somewhat
- 27:19active order book
- 27:20where people
- 27:21can buy
- 27:21and sell
- 27:22not just
- 27:23an empty
- 27:23order book
- 27:24where nothing
- 27:25happens.
- 27:26So they pretty
- 27:26much make you
- 27:27find these
- 27:28market makers
- 27:29sometimes
- 27:29they recommend
- 27:31sometimes projects
- 27:32find them
- 27:33on their own
- 27:34and sometimes
- 27:35there are
- 27:35now various
- 27:36interviewers
- 27:37who also
- 27:38help choose
- 27:39market makers
- 27:40market makers
- 27:41and then
- 27:42essentially
- 27:42protocols work
- 27:43there are two
- 27:44ways now
- 27:44to pay
- 27:45market makers
- 27:47fees
- 27:47or the
- 27:48retailer
- 27:49might provide
- 27:50them with
- 27:50a loan
- 27:51or liquidity
- 27:52or sometimes
- 27:53the protocol
- 27:53itself opens
- 27:54an account
- 27:55on a
- 27:55centralized
- 27:56exchange
- 27:57grants access
- 27:57to this
- 27:58account
- 27:58to the
- 27:59market maker
- 27:59and the
- 28:00market maker
- 28:01then as if
- 28:02on their
- 28:02behalf
- 28:03performs
- 28:03market making
- 28:04activities
- 28:05on their
- 28:05own account
- 28:06that's like
- 28:07method number
- 28:08one but we
- 28:08don't do that
- 28:09we trade
- 28:09we risk
- 28:10our own
- 28:10capital
- 28:11because in
- 28:11the first
- 28:12scenario
- 28:12the project
- 28:13itself
- 28:13actually risks
- 28:14the capital
- 28:15so if a
- 28:16market maker
- 28:17loses money
- 28:19due to their
- 28:20activity
- 28:20all of that
- 28:21essentially goes
- 28:22to the
- 28:22protocol
- 28:23so
- 28:24here's a
- 28:25profit sharing
- 28:25model
- 28:25if they make
- 28:26money
- 28:26but if they
- 28:27lose
- 28:27the protocol
- 28:27also takes
- 28:28a loss
- 28:28that's what
- 28:29we're doing
- 28:29we go through
- 28:29protocols
- 28:30and we receive
- 28:30tokens from
- 28:31them
- 28:32quite often
- 28:35we receive
- 28:35call options
- 28:37pause
- 28:38so let's
- 28:39assume for
- 28:40example that
- 28:41we are granted
- 28:41a 12-month
- 28:42period
- 28:42he paused
- 28:43after just
- 28:44two months
- 28:44we then have
- 28:45the ability
- 28:46to return
- 28:46either tokens
- 28:47or coins
- 28:48or even
- 28:48dollars
- 28:49at a specific
- 28:49predetermined
- 28:50price that
- 28:51we've already
- 28:51agreed upon
- 28:52in advance
- 28:52and essentially
- 28:55this gives us
- 28:57some additional
- 28:58upside
- 28:58if the
- 28:59protocol's
- 28:59token goes
- 29:00up
- 29:00it's basically
- 29:01if the
- 29:02protocol
- 29:03thinks
- 29:03okay
- 29:04if our
- 29:05price doubles
- 29:05after TGE
- 29:06we still
- 29:07sold more
- 29:07tokens
- 29:08so we
- 29:08we are
- 29:11pleased to
- 29:11offer
- 29:11this call
- 29:12option to
- 29:13the market
- 29:13maker
- 29:14and we
- 29:14then use
- 29:15our capital
- 29:16and this
- 29:17long position
- 29:18to subsequently
- 29:19quote this
- 29:20token
- 29:20on all the
- 29:21exchanges
- 29:22where it
- 29:23is typically
- 29:23listed
- 29:24this is how
- 29:25about half
- 29:25of the
- 29:26market makers
- 29:27I think
- 29:27are currently
- 29:28operating
- 29:28actually you
- 29:29brought up
- 29:29an interesting
- 29:30question about
- 29:30market maker
- 29:31deals because
- 29:32I think there
- 29:32are a lot of
- 29:33myths surrounding
- 29:34them because
- 29:34for example
- 29:35when a project
- 29:35launches on
- 29:36TGE and dumps
- 29:37they say
- 29:37market makers
- 29:38are the ones
- 29:38who sold it
- 29:39off
- 29:39if a project
- 29:40launches and
- 29:40pumps then
- 29:41they say
- 29:41it's probably
- 29:42market makers
- 29:42pumping it
- 29:43because they
- 29:43control a large
- 29:44part of the
- 29:45supply
- 29:45but
- 29:46generally
- 29:47when a project
- 29:49launches
- 29:49it's
- 29:50tokenomics
- 29:51often state
- 29:51that
- 29:51for example
- 29:526% of the
- 29:54supply goes
- 29:55to market makers
- 29:56what do market
- 29:57makers typically
- 29:57do with these
- 29:58tokens after
- 29:59TGE
- 29:59as many in the
- 30:00community have
- 30:00this question
- 30:01in essence
- 30:02they usually
- 30:02do nothing
- 30:03so we use
- 30:04them for
- 30:04trading
- 30:05and that's
- 30:06typically
- 30:06where it
- 30:07all stops
- 30:07so okay
- 30:08at some point
- 30:09if the token's
- 30:10price goes
- 30:11above the
- 30:12strike price
- 30:13of this
- 30:13call option
- 30:14that we
- 30:15currently
- 30:15possess
- 30:15then okay
- 30:17we can
- 30:17actually start
- 30:18selling it
- 30:19that is
- 30:19well this
- 30:20happens
- 30:20if the
- 30:21price grows
- 30:22naturally
- 30:22but if it
- 30:23remains more
- 30:24or less
- 30:24the same
- 30:25then we
- 30:25just keep
- 30:26on trading
- 30:26I can tell
- 30:28you that
- 30:28most often
- 30:29the token
- 30:30price
- 30:31from my
- 30:32own
- 30:32perspective
- 30:33from my
- 30:34point of
- 30:34view
- 30:34from what
- 30:35I personally
- 30:36observe
- 30:36usually drops
- 30:37because you
- 30:38have sellers
- 30:39this might
- 30:40sound quite
- 30:41trivial and
- 30:41simple
- 30:42but in
- 30:42reality
- 30:43it's
- 30:44either
- 30:44insiders
- 30:45or very
- 30:46often
- 30:46there are
- 30:47airdrops
- 30:47and
- 30:48these
- 30:49airdrops
- 30:50also tend
- 30:50to have
- 30:51quite a
- 30:51negative
- 30:51impact
- 30:52on the
- 30:52price
- 30:53because
- 30:53often
- 30:53you know
- 30:54it's
- 30:54very
- 30:55I mean
- 30:55very
- 30:56mercenary
- 30:56people
- 30:57who usually
- 30:57do this
- 30:58and they
- 30:59also
- 30:59aren't
- 30:59really
- 31:00like
- 31:00they're
- 31:01not
- 31:01interested
- 31:01in a
- 31:01long
- 31:02journey
- 31:02with this
- 31:02project
- 31:03and that's
- 31:03why
- 31:03they also
- 31:04sell
- 31:04off
- 31:04very
- 31:04heavily
- 31:05so
- 31:05most
- 31:06often
- 31:06when
- 31:06the
- 31:06price
- 31:07drops
- 31:07it's
- 31:07either
- 31:07insider
- 31:09information
- 31:10or an
- 31:11airdrop
- 31:11or some
- 31:12kind of
- 31:12combination
- 31:12I mean
- 31:13I think
- 31:13there are
- 31:14some
- 31:14market makers
- 31:14who are
- 31:15manipulating
- 31:15especially
- 31:16in Asia
- 31:17but
- 31:17intuitively
- 31:18I believe
- 31:18that in
- 31:19I don't
- 31:19know
- 31:2090%
- 31:20of cases
- 31:21it must
- 31:21just be
- 31:22insiders
- 31:22who are
- 31:23selling
- 31:23understood
- 31:24I think
- 31:24so too
- 31:25understood
- 31:25but I
- 31:25believe
- 31:26many
- 31:26people
- 31:26have
- 31:26other
- 31:27versions
- 31:27so
- 31:28it
- 31:28turns
- 31:28out
- 31:28the
- 31:28option
- 31:29expiration
- 31:29price
- 31:30is
- 31:30quite
- 31:30important
- 31:31so
- 31:31for
- 31:31instance
- 31:32if
- 31:32the
- 31:32price
- 31:33goes
- 31:33above
- 31:33the
- 31:33options
- 31:33expiration
- 31:34many
- 31:34would
- 31:35be
- 31:35incentivized
- 31:35to
- 31:35sell
- 31:36if
- 31:36it
- 31:36falls
- 31:36below
- 31:37then
- 31:37the
- 31:37opposite
- 31:37would
- 31:38occur
- 31:38however
- 31:38it
- 31:39seems
- 31:39that
- 31:39no
- 31:39one
- 31:39actually
- 31:39has
- 31:40access
- 31:40to
- 31:40this
- 31:40specific
- 31:41price
- 31:41point
- 31:41therefore
- 31:43it
- 31:43would
- 31:43probably
- 31:43be
- 31:44considered
- 31:44good
- 31:44practice
- 31:45if
- 31:45projects
- 31:45were
