We're on a mission to democratize trading around the world. Only one big leap can truly fix investing: virtualizing markets on the blockchain.
In 2018 we set out to create a trading platform that would make global financial markets accessible to everyone. It was inspired by the evolution of cryptocurrency, how its natural fractionality and store of value enabled a whole new generation of traders. Financial markets have always put up barriers: capital requirements, high fees, geographic limitations. So we decided to take away the barriers and let everyone finally invest the way they want to: 24/7, every asset class, shorting, fractional shares, and perfect liquidity.
Morpher went from idea to business under the peppery California sun. Our offices became the grassy courtyards spilled across the Stanford campus. Beyond scenic benches, Stanford attracts amazing guests. Tim Draper visited and shared his vision for blockchain technology completely changing the world. We couldn't agree more, and he became the first investor in Morpher. We scaled our operations and setup in beautiful Vienna. By summer 2019 we released the alpha version. Post alpha we built our own plasma-like scaling solution and migrated the entire trade engine to Ethereum smart contracts. Finally close to launch, we started an airdrop in early 2020 to reward our early users and distribute Morpher tokens as widely as possible.
