An interesting market signal: a leading derivatives trading platform has recruited a former infrastructure head who previously built a system handling $10 billion in monthly volume. Even more intriguing is the valuation contrast — the platform's market cap is only $43 million, yet it has captured about 10% of Deribit's trading volume in Ethereum options. What does this reflect? The candidate's background provides an answer: he previously managed TradeWeb infrastructure, with an annual trading volume of $29 trillion. This level of experience in building large-scale trading systems, once applied to product development on a new platform, could unlock a much higher ceiling than the current valuation suggests. The market often underestimates the leverage that infrastructure capabilities can provide to a trading platform's competitiveness.

The infrastructure capability has really been seriously underestimated. This guy's 29 trillion yuan of trading experience is used to refine products, and a 43 million valuation is probably a joke.

Infrastructure is the key, and this time the talent acquisition team really knows their stuff.

Damn, this guy's resume is unbelievable. He's played in the trillion-dollar range of 29 trillion dollars before. Can a platform with a valuation of only 43 million not explode?

Infrastructure is indeed easy to overlook, but with a market cap of 43 million and a 10% trading volume, the data itself is speaking. The experience from TradeWeb's 29 trillion level volume might really be a dark horse signal here.
