Career
[edit]Furche's interest in digital finance began with his involvement in DigiCash cash in the mid 1990s, as regional CEO[1]. DigiCash was an early form of electronic payment, and one of the earliest implementations of public/private key cryptography in the context of money. In 1996 Furch and co author Graham Wrightson published the book Computer Money: a systematic overview of electronic payment systems[4]. In 2000 Furche received his PhD from Macquarie University[1]
SMARTS emerged from computer research labs at the University of Sydney in 1994, and was designed to monitor real time trading activity and systematically identify market manipulation[2]. from 2003, Furche lead the SMARTS group as CEO and director until their acquisition by the NASDAQ in 2010 for a purchase price of $77 Million[2].
Furche has been a key figure in the Australian Capital Markets Cooperative Research Centre since its conception in 2003. Furche was CEO of the Australian Digital Finance Cooperative Research Centre from it's formation in 2022 until march 2024.[5]
