# Team #### Our Story ![](https://2429153847-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MUOQ6gxp7fvimMESwmx-1703796690%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-010c84ae8c9ac15160d26d0613849b25e9cb2fc8%2FWechatIMG1470.jpeg?alt=media) Our team has been in the derivatives business for years. Most recently, our founders led Huobi’s institutional business, one of the largest crypto trading businesses in the world. Prior to crypto, our team spent the past 5 years working at major investment banks like Merrill Lynch, HSBC, and Citi. We are excited to bring our deep expertise across traditional finance and the crypto-native centralized trading platforms to the world of DeFi. Why did we decide to go all-in on DeFi? We spent the past 2 years learning and participating in the space and are convinced that DeFi will disrupt not only CeFi but the entire financial system. Having witnessed pioneers like Uniswap and Compound revolutionize token trading and lending, we think it’s finally time to do the same to the derivatives market. #### Meet our CMO ![](https://2429153847-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MUOQ6gxp7fvimMESwmx-1703796690%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-e6582a312da8c1753c644ea0526c718dd127b450%2F%E6%88%AA%E5%B1%8F2021-03-18%20%E4%B8%8B%E5%8D%888.37.13.png?alt=media) Learn more details about us at our [Linkedin page](https://www.linkedin.com/company/kine-tech/mycompany/) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
