And yet despite its stunning size today, 50 years ago the interest rate derivative complex did not exist at all. Today Jack interviews Dr. Richard Sandor, chairman and CEO of the American Financial Exchange (AFX), who is known as the \\u201cfather of financial futures\\u201d because he created the world\\u2019s first interest rate and bond futures in the 1970s. Sandor explains how the relentless inflation of the 1970s caused wild swings in interest rates that jeopardized financial stability, and how the financial futures he created helped tame (or at the very least, transfer) these risks.\\n\\nSandor argues that the London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR) to which many interest rate futures (often called \\u201ceurodollar futures\\u201d) are still pegged has been \\u201cdiscredited\\u201d by the schemes of banks to manipulate it (see link below on LIBOR scandal). Sandor shares his vision for the forthcoming LIBOR replacement in June 2023, and tells Jack about his company\\u2019s benchmark, AMERIBOR.\\n--\\nArticle on LIBOR scandal: https://www.investopedia.com/terms/l/libor-scandal.asp\\nMore info on Dr. Richard Sandor: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_L._Sandor\\n\\nFollow Dr. Richard Sandor on Twitter: https://twitter.com/drrichardsandor\\nFollow Jack Farley on Twitter: https://twitter.com/JackFarley96\\nFollow Blockworks on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Blockworks_\\n__\\nGet top market insights and the latest in crypto news.
