Background

Fintech operator since 2010 — global payments, crypto (Ripple, 2013), capital markets, and web3. The through-line: finding the strategic insight others overlooked, then building around it.

Thesis

There are tens of millions of people long market-tested digital assets (BTC, ETH, XRP) that are structurally superior to traditional financial assets — and doing nothing with them. Not because they don’t want to. Because DeFi is a minefield and TradFi hasn’t shown up. That gap is large, it’s growing, and it’s going to matter more as the global financial and monetary system continues to react to disruptive technologies and social movements.

Now

Building an organization around this thesis — a platform that takes the best of DeFi’s infrastructure and product, manages risk seriously, and forms the types of markets that earn the trust of crypto holders who have been waiting for something they can actually use. Assembling the right coalition of co-investors, builders, and liquidity providers.
