EDX Markets CEO Jamil Nazarali is bullish about crypto — even amid a bear market, he says it is the right time to launch a business as the sector prepares itself for the next bull run.

While the crypto exchange began operating in June, following its September 2022 launch with the backing of Charles Schwab, Citadel Securities, and Fidelity Digital Assets, it is now pushing ahead with beefing up staff.
