Zihao is responsible for making crypto ETFs possible and works with leading issuers in Europe. He has developed the first crypto indices in the Nordics approved by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), introducing crypto assets to the traditional financial industry and reliable pricing and trust to the blockchain community. Zihao is seeking pioneers who are building the Future of Money and enabling safe and efficient transactions at faster than the speed of thought. He believes that our species' ability to collaborate at scale is perhaps the premier force for improving general living standards, and this collaboration is underpinned by responsibly harnessing and efficiently exchanging the natural riches of the earth and the products of specialised human industry and ingenuity. The infrastructures that govern how we exchange and allocate scarce resources and human efforts are often monetary ones - if you're building massive improvements (faster, more efficient, better priced, etc.) on what exists today, get in touch! Zihao has also worked as a Non-Executive Director at Intropic, where he helped individuals make beneficial use of unique information. He was also a Board Observer at Merge, where he reduced the cost and complexity of embedding financial services for crypto-focused companies while lowering the burden of managing multiple integrations and global licensing requirements. Zihao holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics and Management from the University of Oxford, which he completed in 2010. He has a strong tech stack that includes blockchain and Web3. Zihao is passionate about building the Future of Money and enabling safe and efficient transactions, and he is constantly seeking out new opportunities to collaborate with like-minded individuals and organizations.
