About The Author
When Aisha Patel walked away from her successful career as a quantitative trader at Queen Street Capital in 2018, her colleagues thought she was making a mistake. But Aisha had seen something they hadn’t – the emerging potential of cryptocurrency markets to revolutionize trading. Having built trading algorithms for traditional markets, she recognized that the inefficiencies in crypto markets presented unprecedented opportunities for those who could navigate them properly.
