Primed for having successfully developed and deployed a cutting-edge IT Infrastructure supporting the most demanding trader-centric functionalities for its clients, Exante has achieved incredible results inits five year history,becoming one of the most trusted globalbrokers on the market.

Constantly pushing and exploring newboundaries,this weekend at The London School of Economics,Exante’sCo-Founder,GatisEglitis will speak to students and guestsat Russian Business week on the emergingcrazein finance,blockchain.

Many people know Blockchainas the technology behind Bitcoin, but blockchain’s potential uses extend far beyond digital currencies.Its admirers include Bill Gates and Richard Branson, and banks and insurers are falling over one another to be the first to work out how to use it.Currently, most people use a trusted middleman such as a bank to make a transaction. But blockchain allows consumers and suppliers to connect directly, removing the need for a third party.

Exante’s presentation comes at an opportune time as the process of uberization is presented and seen as the model that restores power to individuals, Exante’s subject "blockchainization" goes even further. It removes the governance that exists behind platforms like Uber or Airbnb to redistribute it to users of the Blockchain. Like the start-up Arcade City which intends to "blockchainiser" Uber, there is no need to go through an intermediary that links supply and demand and sets prices for races by taking a commission of 20 %.It is the drivers and passengers who agree directly on the price and conditions of transport in a secure and decentralized framework.
