U.S. Senator Gillibrand's son founded the perpetual futures exchange APEC, raising $30 million in funding

Abstract generation in progress
U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand's son Theodore Gillibrand founded the derivatives trading platform APEC (American Perpetuals Exchange Corporation), which completed a $30 million funding round, with a post-investment valuation of approximately $300 million. This round was led by Lux Capital. According to documents filed with the SEC, APEC plans to apply for a license from the CFTC to launch stock and stock index perpetual futures products, rather than cryptocurrency perpetual contracts. Theodore Gillibrand previously worked as a researcher at Paradigm and interned at Andreessen Horowitz. (Fortune)

Second-generation entrepreneurship comes with its own resources, but choosing stock and futures rather than crypto perpetuals is slightly against the prevailing consensus.

Lux Capital leads the investment, indicating that traditional capital is genuinely optimistic about the compliant derivatives track; avoiding crypto might be even more stable.

Andreessen Horowitz internship experience + Paradigm background, team setup is fully staffed, now it’s all about product implementation.

If you obtain the CFTC license, a valuation of 300 million is really not expensive.
