Cora Yang

Profile

Macro derivatives sales professional — over five years at Barclays across Singapore, Hong Kong, and Taipei, covering central banks, sovereign wealth, hedge funds, and asset managers across FICC, credit, and structured equity.

A long-held conviction in digital assets, grounded in the monetary scarcity thesis advanced by Michael Saylor and Lyn Alden, the macro liquidity frameworks of Arthur Hayes and Raoul Pal, and Jason Lowery's national security case for proof-of-work in Softwar. Fluent in on-chain analytics, derivatives market structure, and the broader arguments for why this asset class represents a structural shift rather than a speculative cycle.

Beyond markets — an independent builder of web applications and PWAs developed through AI-assisted design, including a longevity tracking platform, a multi-asset financial dashboard, and a children's educational tool. Not a developer by background, but someone who identifies a gap and ships a solution.

Mandarin, Taiwanese, English, and Italian speaker. Taiwanese and Italian citizen. Based in Italy. Travelled across 67 countries.
