His early career veered away from IT, into supercars, real estate, and investment banking before turning full cycle, back to the IT world of data analytics and metaverse.
Faced with the market volatility of the Trump years, Gerard set out to curate a market-neutral trading strategy that secured investors’ capital while earning consistent daily cash flow.
In 2018, Gerard Peters led his global team of financial quant engineers, data scientists, Artificial Intelligence, and machine learning experts to curate the world's first perpetual earning system - an algorithmic trading fintech system that is market neutral and risk-free for investors to weather financial market volatility.
Return on investment exceeded 30%, consistently outperforming the S&P 500.
The QuantifAI trading system was a revolutionary fintech product, based on scientific principles and mathematical probabilities. It used algorithms, AI, and machine learning methodology.
QuantifAI trading strategies are peer-reviewed and rated one of the top FX performers, providing record ROI, unprecedented in the industry.

QuantifAI investors and clients are set to benefit from its proprietary Cash n Carry Arbitrage system. Clients have access to a risk-free trading system that trades 24/7 in these digital assets as the cryptocurrency market hits record highs in the coming years.
Gerard Peters remains committed to ethical trading :
“We want to be remunerated when we add value because we are confident in the quality of our systems to perform and earn us our profit share. I believe this is the proper way industry professionals should operate. Charging large front load fees and not performing for investors is not acceptable in my opinion. We earn when our client’s profit, that’s fair to all parties”.

True Digital Cash
Digital currencies are now being curated by central banks.
Some analysts predict these digital currencies will edge out cryptocurrencies.
According to Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell, the digital dollar threatens to derail bitcoin, other cryptocurrencies, stable coins, and digital currencies such as tether that are pegged to traditional assets.
Europe is set to introduce a digital Euro within a couple of years.
In China, government officials have already begun real-world trials of the digital yuan.
However, many economies are adopting cryptocurrency in tandem with digital cash and fiat.
Last week, Spain announced it would include cryptocurrency in its mortgage system.
A draft of the Digital Transformation law, presented by lawmakers from the Popular Party in Spain, would regulate and legalize new technologies like cryptocurrency, blockchain, and AI in the country.
The bill contemplates the modernization of the structure of banks, that would be able to use blockchain, cryptocurrencies, and smart contracts to carry ordinary processes such as mortgage management, and to streamlining compensation and settlements derived from insurance policies. Blockchain technologies were also contemplated to be used in supply chain applications, and in medical processes.
The proposed draft includes 25% tax breaks for eligible companies. AI and the Internet of Things (IoT ), emergent technologies that are present in service providers, are also regulated in the bill, along with several benefits for these providers.
El Salvador has adopted Bitcoin as legal tender, the first in the world to do. Bank of America (BOA ) outlined some potential benefits of its cryptocurrency adoption, as low-cost remittances, financial digitalization, and greater investments from foreign companies.
‘Financial digitalization’ was seen as having a democratization effect because more than 70% of the adult population in El Salvador does not have a bank account. Access to electronic payments through bitcoin had a progressive touch. ‘
In addition, adopting bitcoin as legal tender is ‘ giving more choice to consumers. Payments can be automatically converted to dollars using the government‘s electronic wallet, Chivo.
Bitcoin adoption is expected to bring foreign direct investment flows into El Salvador, such as from Strike, bitcoin miners, and ATM manufacturers. At least two crypto ATM companies have announced plans to install cryptocurrency ATMs in El Salvador: Chainbytes and Athena Bitcoin.
For investors and traders who deem cryptocurrency highly volatile, the QuantifAI Cash and Carry Arbitrage system has mitigated volatility, so trade yields remain profitable in all market conditions.
