The post Glider Co-Founder Believes ETFs Are Dead, DeFi Will Power The Future Of Investing appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The financial landscape is rapidly evolving these days, and decentralized finance (DeFi) is gaining massive attention due to its exceptional accessibility, ownership, and user experience. Keeping this in regard, Brian Huang, the Co-founder of Glider, is putting his efforts and his vast experience at Morgan Stanley, XTX, and Anchorage to make crypto trading accessible for everybody.
