I’m super excited to share that Odds on Open officially has a sponsor. For the next five months, we’re partnering with Onyx (@onyxcapgroup), the world’s largest oil derivatives trading firm. Back in March, Greg Newman (@GNewmanOfficial), founder and CEO of Onyx, came on Odds on Open to talk about how oil trading firms are navigating market volatility in the wake of the Iran War. Today, two months later, he and his firm are becoming the podcast’s first brand partner. When Odds on Open first launched, we wanted to reduce the opacity of the quant finance industry and increase the amount of high-quality content on trading markets. In some ways, Onyx is solving similar problems, only on a much larger scale. The oil markets are one of the most opaque on the planet. Just to access the contracts that actually price physical oil, you need millions in capital, tens of thousands in annual data fees, and a clearing relationship with a bank that has to decide you're worth the trouble. Greg and the team at Onyx are trying to do for oil what Revolut did for FX: take a market that has historically been expensive and difficult to access, and make it cheaper, more transparent, and easier for more people to participate in. Thank you, Greg, for believing in our show. And thank you to everyone who’s been tuning in every week. The last few months of building this with my brother Patrick have (so far) been the most rewarding thing I’ve done, and we’re excited to see where this partnership can take us.
