Today we are proud to announce that Evan Schnidman (former Founder and CEO of Prattle) will be joining Xtant Real as a key Strategy Advisor to the board of directors.

Xtant Real, creator of Real Digital Asset (RDA) Index - the world’s first fundamentally-weighted index for cryptoassets, is delighted to announce the appointment of Evan Schnidman as Strategy Advisor to the board of directors. Evan was previously the founder and CEO of Prattle, which sold to LiquidNet in 2019, where Evan became Head of Data Innovation.

Schnidman will focus on partnership strategy and positioning of RDA Index as the de facto fundamentally weighted index for the crypto asset class. Evan started his career as an academic where he earned his Ph.D in Political Economy from Harvard University and served as faculty at Brown University. During his time in academia, Evan authored numerous academic articles about the impact of language and events on financial markets, culminating with his book titled How The Fed Moves Markets.

“For those seeking clarity on cryptoassets beyond hype and speculation, RDA Index Data Suite fills a major void in the market,” explains Arfan Ismail, co-founder at Xtant Real.  He continued “We are extremely delighted that Evan is joining us at such an exciting phase of the industry and Xtant Real’s own growth”.
