Basics

  • Fka DeFi Alliance or Chicago DeFi Alliance
  • From EthHub #109 (14-4-2020):

"A group of Chicago-based crypto trading shops is coming together to connect more closely with Open Finance (DeFi) projects. The alliance aims to help DeFi projects understand the Chicago trading ecosystem, a major financial hub famous for its derivatives market. As DeFi projects look to bootstrap liquidity and onboard professional traders, CDA provides them a platform to communicate with trading firms, liquidity providers, and over-the-counter desks."'

Members

Volt Capital, Jump Capital, CMT Trading and DRW Trading launched today the Chicago DeFi Alliance (CDA). The organization, announced late Tuesday in a blog post, seeks to bring together the Chicago-based trading firms and DeFi projects from the world.

Inaugural members of the alliance include TD Ameritrade, DV Trading, Arca, dYdX, and Compound."
