John Pigott - CEO, ABE Global on Innovating Capital Markets with Auctions and Distributed Ledgers - E11

Episode • Jan 19, 2021 • 55m

This week on the Encrypted Economy, our guest is John Pigott, CEO of ABE Global. ABE is an acronym for A Better Exchange, which is exactly what John has set out to build. John and I met years ago when he responded to a market structure article I had published, which I knew would take a special kind of market nerd to appreciate. John fit the bill, and we instantly hit it off. His appreciation for markets is unique and persistent. It even managed to define his years long motorcycle trip through Asia, which inspired the values he seeks to change the market with through ABE Global. Make sure to tune into this episode to hear about John’s vision for the marketplace, desires to help the common investor, and how distributed ledger technology can be the basis for it all. Keep an eye on ABE Global to follow his journey, and of course stay tuned to the Encrypted Economy for more great episodes!
