Making the jump from Wall Street to bitcoin is easier said than done in 2021, but Kraken’s Juthica Chou took an even larger leap of faith when starting her own crypto business eight years ago.

Chou, who was previously a derivatives trader at Goldman Sachs, co-founded America's first approved crypto derivatives platform, LedgerX, in 2013 — back when bitcoin was worth just $1,242.
