The

Chief Digital Officer

This time we talk to Ulli Spankowski

(https://de.linkedin.com/in/ulli-spankowski-08652916,
https://twitter.com/uspankowski?lang=en,
https://www.crunchbase.com/person/ulli-spankowski
) a fintech and blockchain entrepreneur, who sold his company to the Stuttgart
Stock Exchange, which than promoted him to be the CDO (Chief Digital Officer).
He is an economist by training, who did his PhD in market microstructure. He
co-founded his fintech startup with co-founders from Slovenia.

 

We met with the CIO of Börse

Stuttgart - back then - and discussed what can be done with financial markets
in the future, if you completely rethink it, based on blockchain technology.

Bitcoin was much bigger in Slovenia.

When my co-founder told me to do something in bitcoin, I said … Bit-What?

The

Startup

Back in 2013, Ulli founded his

startup Sowa Labs together with co-founders from Slovenia, which he met during
an EU funded project during his Ph.D. Thesis. The idea of aggregating data from
across the web and social media on cryptocurrencies evolved into cryptocurrency
trading. They then sold the startup to the Stuttgart Stock Exchange in 2017 and
developed what has become their BISON app: https://bisonapp.com/en/
(App
Store, Google
Play Store). This was not a bad move, since Börse Stuttgart is the market
leader in Europe as a trading venue for retail structured products and one of
the 10 largest stock exchanges in Europe.

 

We started out with

cryptocurrencies, but we are planning to move gradually into security tokens.

Ulli Spankowski, CDO Börse Stuttgart

 

 

When I was attending conferences [at

the beginning of cryptocurrencies] I always said “The biggest problem of
cryptocurrencies is that no one cares about them”
