About this episode

Ian Weisberger, CEO & Co-Founder of CoinRoutes, joins Anton Golub and Dr. Demetrios Zamboglou for an insightful conversation on building institutional-grade trading infrastructure for digital assets. The discussion explores Ian’s journey from software engineer to leading a global fintech and how CoinRoutes delivers best execution across fragmented liquidity spanning CEXs, perps DEXs, futures, and equities through advanced order-routing and risk technology. He shares how the firm’s recent acquisition strengthens its vertical integration and how stablecoins are transforming both trading and cross-border payments. The conversation also examines AI’s impact on engineering, recruitment, and trading systems, while highlighting Dubai’s role as a strategic hub for serving Europe and Asia. Offering practical insights on product-market fit, partnerships vs. build/buy strategies, and institutional adoption as regulation matures, this episode provides a forward-looking view on the future of execution, regulation, and leadership in a 24/7 market.
