Together with legal experts conducted a comprehensive global analysis of DAO frameworks and executed a set-up of the legal wrapper as a Swiss Association. Co-wrote the Articles of Association and Whitepaper, and directly contributed to defining the Treasury Policy and Ethics Policy.

Onboarded 100+ members consisting of top crypto, legal, and DAO experts. Leader of the Community workstream and contributor to the Legal and Treasury Management workstreams.

Grew SwissAssetDAO's public profile from a small tight-knight community to one of the most well-known DAOs in Switzerland, and a global leader in the space of RWAs. Represented SwissAssetDAO at numerous high-profile events and conferences. 

Served as a key point of contact for inbound inquiries for the services of RWA advisory and securitization.

US politicians will not allow crypto companies to offer yield on stablecoins

Reason for that is simple:

Yield on stablecoins will draw deposits away from banks and destory their business model.

Why would anyone keep their money as a bank deposit?

Stablecoins are safer than bank deposits.

Stablecoins are backed (mostly) by US government bonds.

US government bonds are safest and most liquid instrument on the planet.

Compare that to bank deposits, where you're exposed to risk of bank's balance-sheet.

Finally, banks pay out very little yield on their bank deposits. 

Banks make money by keeping most of the yield, and passing very little of that to end users. 

Conclusion is straightforward: 

Stablecoins with yield are a danger to banks' business model, so political lobbies will not allow it.

With over 20 years of experience in financial risk management, investment banking, and a sovereign wealth fund, I am a seasoned executive and advisor who combines analytical skills, strategic vision, and innovative thinking to deliver value-added solutions in various domains and markets. I have led and contributed to global and regional teams and projects across APAC and EMEA, with exposure to both financial and non-financial risk management, as well as laws and regulations in different jurisdictions.

Currently, I am an advisor at SwissAssetDAO, a DAO dedicated to real-world asset investing, where I leverage my expertise in risk management and asset allocation to support the association's governance and operations. I am also a risk advisor at CryptCard, a blockchain-agnostic credit card platform that empowers enterprises to launch their own credit cards using tokens or stablecoins with lower interest rates than banks. Additionally, I am the CEO and co-founder of Cerchia, a company that offers direct risk transfer using smart contracts and distributed ledger technology, enabling participants to buy or sell event risks securely and efficiently, without intermediaries or exchanges. My mission is to create resilient societies where insurance and pension gaps are jointly addressed using scalable and efficient transfer of risks.
