Hey folks, my guest today is Jack Liu. After monitoring the crypto space and recognizing its potential, particularly on Solana, Jack took the leap of starting out at FTX, one of the industry's leading exchanges where he worked within partnerships and corporate development. Following this, he decided to fill the gap in the market for a community-focused interactive NFT ecosystem and marketplace and launched Magic Eden, which is witnessed one of the

fastest paces of growth in crypto. Jack, you're ready to take us to the top? Absolutely.

All right. Fastest pace is a big statement. I have to ask you to back that up with data. What do

mean fastest? By what metric? Yeah, absolutely. Well, first of all, thanks, thanks a time for having me,

So this month, we're about to trade around four to five hundred million dollars of NFTs on a marketplace. And we're the fastest marketplace to reach cumulatively a billion

dollars in GMB traded.

So we did that in around four or five months.

That's amazing.

Cool.
