New hires bring decades’ worth of tech, finance, and marketplace technology experience to TrustToken’s leadership as the company scales up its DeFi lending protocol, TrueFi
TrustToken, the core team responsible for building the leading unsecured lending protocol TrueFi, as well as popular stablecoins including TrueUSD, expands its C-suite with two new executives. Wall Street veteran Bill Wolf and long-time product executive Ryan Christensen will bolster the company’s pedigree with traditional finance and level up its product leadership. Their expertise will support the company as it works to expand its decentralized finance (DeFi) offering, TrueFi, to institutions on the momentum of explosive growth in 2021.
“We are expanding our senior management team to continue and accelerate the momentum we’ve built towards making TrueFi the new infrastructure of global lending. We’ve seen the leadership, knowledge, and network Bill and Ryan bring to the team, and are privileged to welcome them into full-time leadership roles at TrustToken.”
With the latest update of the institutional-grade lending protocol, TrueFi is opening to third-party asset managers and developers, who can now launch bespoke financial products on-chain. This opens the doors to hundreds of financial opportunities, both in institutional and decentralized finance, all with the support of TrustToken’s rigorous compliance and regulatory infrastructure.
