Alexander Tkachenko, Founder and CEO of VNX, the first European regulated investment platform for tokenized precious metals. The company recently launched the first fully gold-backed token in Europe with regulatory oversight. Each token represents a stake in a physical gold bullion certified by the London Bullion Market Association. In November LBank, Hong Kong-based cryptocurrency exchange, listed VNX Gold Token. The traditional centralized finance (CeFi) ecosystem may appear mysterious to non-experts since customers are often unaware of the underlying rules or agreements that govern financial assets and goods. Decentralized Finance (DeFi), on the other hand, is establishing its mark as an ecosystem that claims to provide transparency and control, thanks, in part, to the underlying integrity-protected blockchain, as well as higher financial asset yields than CeFi platforms. However, the line between CeFi and DeFi may not always be that apparent. Alexander Tkachenko might help understand the idea of the most prevalent DeFi vs CeFi properties as ​​public verifiability, atomicity, custody, trading, possible risks, transaction costs and others. Alexander is a charismatic speaker who can talk about main trends in VC in crypto currency, regulations and fully backed digital assets. He participate in many conferences and podcasts including Token2049, World Knowledge Forum, Wavect, etc.
