Article hero image

Julian Koh, Co-Founder & CEO of Ribbon Finance joined us for another episode of 15-minute fundamentals to discuss the past 3 months at Ribbon.

In this episode, we dive into the current state of Ribbon and discuss recently launched products Ribbon Earn and Ribbon Lend, and the soon to be launched options exchange Aevo.

Ribbon Finance is a suite of DeFi protocols that help users access crypto structured products. By combining derivatives, lending and a proprietary on-chain options exchange (Aevo), Ribbon aims to be the one-stop solution for users who want to improve a portfolio's risk-return profile.
