Matthew Cohen
Matthew Cohen is the co-founder and chief executive of Provable Markets, a New York fintech running Aurora, an SEC-registered Alternative Trading System for securities lending. After 15 years trading equity finance at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Jefferies, and Nomura, Cohen partnered with cryptographer Thomer Gil in 2020 to apply secure multi-party computation to a market that had run for decades on phone calls, spreadsheets, and information leakage. In 2022 Provable ran the first securities lending transaction cleared through DTCC's SFT service. In May 2024 the company raised an $8M Series A led by Dialectic Capital Management.
