In this episode of the Future 1 webshow & podcast, we meet Nelson Chen from Neutral Project. He was previously a research analyst at BlackRock and research consultant at WorldQuant. He studied computer Science at Georgia Tech and Finance at University of Texas. Neutral Dollar went live 2 weeks ago and is a metastable basket of stablecoins. The result is a digital dollar which has lower volatility and combines fragmented pools of liquidity and is an entirely new blockchain-native financial instrument. The on-chain token processes revolves around the profit-seeking behavior of rational arbitrageurs and mimics properties of a traditional ETF in a fully transparent way.
