🌐 SPEAKERS
Chris Weston | Head of Research, Pepperstone
Most traders watch prices. Few understand the flows that move markets. Chris Weston has spent more than two decades analysing market structure and the capital flows that drive both tradfi markets and crypto. As Head of Research at Pepperstone, he draws on over 24 years of institutional market experience gained at Merrill Lynch, Credit Suisse and Morgan Stanley. Chris focuses on cutting through the noise to identify what is really driving price action, positioning and risk sentiment, delivering the type of market insight typically reserved for institutional trading floors. He is a regular commentator across global financial media, including Bloomberg, Sky News Business and Channel News Asia.
Evan Lowden | Head of Business Development, Pepperstone Crypto
Most people in crypto talk about DeFi. Evan Lowden has spent years inside it, supporting projects that collectively raised over $1 billion in capital before most Australians knew what a wallet was. Now he’s Head of Business Development at Pepperstone Crypto, leading institutional growth across partnerships, OTC and API trading in Australia. He also built and exited a direct-to-consumer brand with a global community of over 2 million followers, so he understands both sides of what it takes to scale.
