Peter Randall, known for helping unleash a new era of competition for European stock exchanges in 2007, is seeking to upend the status quo yet again. This time, the goal is using the underlying technology for the digital currency bitcoin to dramatically speed up the transfer of assets.
Randall, the former chief executive officer of the Chi-X Europe stock market, has been hired as the chief operating officer of SETL, according to a statement Monday. The startup has developed a payment and settlement system based on blockchain, the software ledger that drives bitcoin.
