Mark Lamb

Formal First Name
Mark

Mark Lamb is the Co-founder and CEO of CoinFLEX, the world’s first physically delivered cryptocurrency futures exchange designed to trade in crypto assets and bitcoins. As a longtime advocate for physically-delivered futures over cash settlement as a way to prevent manipulation, Mark’s vision for crypto derivatives is to grow the industry beyond speculation into real commercial use for lending, borrowing, hedging and payments. He was an early investor in Bitcoin in 2012, and quickly became one of the largest crypto OTC market makers. Previously, Mark was the Founder and former CEO of Coinfloor, the first UK crypto exchange. He implemented the first cryptographically provable auditing mechanism of the company.
