Trade and invest smoothly: An interview with Fairdesk CEO Jacky Choi

Fairdesk is a crypto and derivatives exchange that aims to build a platform that would enable its users and traders to go both long and short thereby profiting from the ups and downs of the market. Users can execute critical investing, trading, and risk decisions through high-quality crypto derivatives exchanges.

The platform relies on the core values of providing secure storage options in a reliable and transparent way. Fairdesk limits the scale and frequency of the stepped liquidation process, mark price, and funding rate to protect the client’s assets.

In an interview with Jacky Choi, CEO of Fairdesk we talked about the Fairdesk platform, what makes them stand out from the rest, their referral program, and much more.

The vision of Fairdesk is to be the leading financial service institution in the crypto industry. Fairdesk is one of the fastest-growing trading platforms in the blockchain industry. We open the global markets for traders to invest in a simple and transparent way. 

After working in the traditional financial industry during the past decade, I became disillusioned by the numerous constraints and unfairness I encountered. Unreasonable charges and narrow vision block users’ equal opportunities. We want to create a service-focused trading platform that can be easily used by everyone,  and that is exactly what we are doing.

Fairdesk breaks these barriers and will continue to iterate. Of course, no matter what we do, we will ensure that users can conduct simple, fair, and convenient transactions with the lowest rates and provide the most professional services.
