As a seasoned researcher with a keen eye for the nuances of leadership dynamics within the tech and crypto space, I find Antonio Juliano’s return as CEO of dYdX intriguing. His decision to step back six months ago, only to return now amidst challenging market conditions, is reminiscent of a captain steering his ship through treacherous waters.
Antonio Juliano is back as the CEO of dYdX, having resumed his position six months following his departure, with a strong focus on leadership by the company’s founders.
After taking a break for six months, Antonio Juliano, the founder of DYdX, has returned to his position as CEO of the decentralized exchange. He believes that having the founder at the helm is crucial to rejuvenate the company during periods of intense competition and complex market conditions.
On October 10th, a blog post was published where Juliano detailed that he had taken a break from his position earlier in the year, considering three possible outcomes: being reinstated as leader, gaining fresh independence, or coming back with a revitalized purpose. Remarkably, all these situations unfolded, culminating in him resuming control of the company he established himself.
A clear vision is crucial for bringing people together and motivating them. During my break from dYdX, the implementation phase ran smoothly, however, I observed that over time, there was a growing sense of confusion among team members: ‘Hold on, what exactly are we trying to achieve here?’

Juliano to navigate dYdX via new “chapters”
With a refreshed focus, the dYdX CEO intends to guide the platform into its upcoming phase. However, he admitted that he’s unsure about where this journey might lead us.
Originally, Juliano stepped down as CEO in May to assume the positions of chairman and president at dYdX Trading. In his absence, Ivo Crnkovic-Rubsamen, who was previously an operating partner at dYdX, has taken over as CEO. At this point, it’s uncertain what Crnkovic-Rubsamen’s current position within the organization is.
Established in 2017, dYdX functions as a decentralized platform where users can trade cryptocurrencies and access financial services like margin trading and lending, all without the necessity of a centralized intermediary, unlike platforms such as Coinbase or Binance.
