Before entering the world of digital assets, Taylor Chelsted built a foundation in enterprise sales, account management, logistics, and technology with roles at UPS, Auctane, and Shopify. In these positions he managed multimillion-dollar portfolios, closed complex enterprise partnerships, and drove hundreds of millions in revenue by aligning operational solutions with institutional client needs. This experience gave him a strong background in navigating regulated industries, negotiating at the executive level, and building scalable strategies that naturally translated into success in the crypto markets.
Since 2017, Taylor has specialized as a Futures Trader and Digital Asset Strategist, actively trading BTC, ETH, SOL, and a wide range of altcoins across centralized and decentralized markets. He has developed proprietary frameworks for derivatives trading, custody, and staking while leveraging market intelligence tools to identify high-probability setups and manage risk with institutional discipline. His perspective combines macroeconomic awareness, technical charting, and real-time trading execution to capture opportunities in evolving market conditions.
Taylor is also the founder of The Next Market Pulse, a platform dedicated to delivering institutional-quality insights at the intersection of global macro trends and the crypto markets. Through weekly dashboards, macro calendars, and trading breakdowns, he helps investors and traders understand how broader economic forces shape digital asset performance. His work reflects both a passion for the growing crypto ecosystem and a commitment to providing others with clear, actionable insights in a rapidly shifting financial landscape.
