Join us for an exclusive interview with Ilan Solot – a seasoned expert at the crossroads of global macro, finance, and digital assets, with experience spanning both the public and private sectors. His career began at the New York Federal Reserve’s financial markets team and later took him to the IMF’s financial stability group, giving him a front-row view into how the world’s most influential institutions understand risk, liquidity, and market structure.
In the private sector, Ilan has worn many hats – from macro strategist in banking to driving insights at a blockchain-focused hedge fund. Today, he serves as Global Markets Strategist at Marex, where he continues to analyze and interpret the forces shaping markets across traditional finance and crypto. His insights regularly appear in major international outlets such as Bloomberg, the Financial Times, and CoinDesk.
At this meetup, you’ll gain an inside look at Ilan’s multidisciplinary approach – how he builds analytical frameworks that combine macroeconomics, market structure, digital asset dynamics, and data-driven research. With deep experience working with clients, policymakers, and media, Ilan offers a rare, holistic perspective on how global markets and crypto increasingly overlap through stablecoins, tokenized and other products.
Whether you’re a builder, investor, trader, researcher, or simply curious about the macro forces influencing digital assets, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
