Former JPMorgan Quant On Evading Chinese Capital Controls Via Bitcoin

Mainland Chinese buyers have become a dominant force in real estate markets across the world. The Chinese government crackdown on outflows earlier this year severely throttled that money.
While this money has been throttled, it’s still appearing in certain markets, most notably the United States.
We wanted to know how exactly this is still happens, so we connected with Dr. Joseph Wang – a Bitcoin and Chinese capital outflow expert.
Hong Kong-based Dr. Joseph Wang is an OG of monitoring China’s capital flows and Bitcoin. He currently serves as Chief Science Officer at BitQuant, a fintech that specializes in technologies for the upcoming China yuan renminbi equities option market, as well as options and futures for digital currencies. He previously served as Vice President of Quantitative Research for JP Morgan, the sixth largest bank in the world – whose CEO is now an outspoken critic of the cryptocurrency. He’s got a ton of street cred, but even more important – he monitors China’s capital outflows to seek business opportunities.
