Antonio Juliano has officially returned as the CEO of dYdX Trading, the developer behind the decentralized derivatives exchange dYdX, after a six-month break. Initially stepping down on May 13, Juliano took time to reflect on his motivations and the impact he has as a founder.
In a recent post, Juliano shared that his motivations have evolved over time. While external achievements drove him for years, he now values the connections formed with his colleagues. He likened his influence as a founder to that of a company's "biological parent," emphasizing the responsibility he feels for the company's trajectory.
"I finally feel ready to fully accept my role in what I created, and so, today I am back as CEO," Juliano stated. He expressed confidence in returning with the passion he had in the first five years, combined with the wisdom gained in the last two.
As of now, dYdX is the fifth largest decentralized derivatives exchange by total value locked, holding $306.6 million according to DeFiLlama. The platform's token, DYDX, was trading at $0.91 with a 4.44% increase in the last 24 hours.
