Ep 40, Hummingbot - Community Driven Market Making with Michael Feng, Co-Founder, and CEO

Michael Feng was looking for a problem to solve, so he spent September of 2018 talking to everyone he could in the crypto space. The notion of liquidity kept coming up, and without knowing exactly what the solution might be, he and his team set out to answer the question: How do you create the liquidity necessary to attract traders to cryptocurrency markets?

Michael weighs in on the technical and regulatory challenges associated with market making on DEXes, the centralized and decentralized exchanges supported on the platform, and the startup's plan to monetize by way of liquidity bounties. Listen in for insight into the traction Hummingbot has gained since its launch in April and learn about the software's surprisingly diverse user base, including individuals in emerging markets, token projects, and even quant funds.
