Derek on the Record: Every Interview, Podcast, Space and Panel

Derek, Co-Founder and CEO of Neutral Trade, has spent the last two years on podcasts, X Spaces, livestreams and conference stages. The format changes. The idea does not.

Quant strategies that hedge funds and trading firms run should not sit behind high minimums and closed doors. Neutral Trade turns them into on-chain vaults that you can access from a wallet. Firms can trade. They cannot withdraw.

This page collects every appearance in one place, newest first, grouped by format. Derek also keeps the full list in one thread on X.
