0:07.5	podcast, simply the best podcast out there. Let's kick this thing off. David Mercer is the founder and
0:13.6	CEO of Elmax Group, which owns Elmax Digital, the leading trading platform for institutional investors.
0:20.1	In this conversation, we discuss why
0:21.8	institutions want to trade cryptocurrencies, how important latency and infrastructure is, how
0:27.0	Elmax Digital is servicing customers, and what trends David is seeing on a day-to-day basis.
0:32.5	I really enjoyed this conversation with David, and he obviously understands what he's talking
0:36.5	about. So I hope you enjoy this one as well. Before we get into this episode, though, and he obviously understands what he's talking about. So I hope you
0:37.6	enjoy this one as well. Before we get into this episode, though, I want to quickly talk about our sponsors.
0:42.7	First up is OKX. Crypto moves fast and many crypto-focused companies can't keep up. Crypto exchanges
0:48.5	that cut through the noise are the ones that give you access wherever you are in the world
0:51.7	to the cutting-edge projects emerging in this new asset class. If you're looking for an industry leader that gives retail investors like you
0:57.9	access to a huge variety of crypto assets, tools and services, I'd recommend O KX. Whether that's
1:03.3	access to a wide variety of new crypto asset listings that follow industry trends like NFTs or
1:07.8	D5, or access to sophisticated trading instruments like Bitcoin futures or other
1:11.9	crypto derivatives. Or if you're not into trading, a suite of crypto earning tools where you can
1:16.2	securely deposit your crypto and earn interest or a learning and insights hub to help you understand
1:20.7	and stay on top of crypto trends, OKX is a one-stop shop. Even though they are primarily a crypto-to-cry
1:26.7	platform, meaning you trade one
1:28.0	crypto for another, I like that they offer an easy entry point for the many people who are now new
1:32.6	to this asset class. On OKX, you can easily use your credit or debit card to buy top cryptocurrencies
1:37.9	with almost 40 different fiat currencies. Open an account today at OKex.com slash pomp. Again, okayex.com slash pomp. Go check them out today.
