Valentin Preobrazhenskiy founded LATOKEN after shifting his focus from traditional finance to blockchain technology. His experiences managing a hedge fund during geopolitical turmoil illuminated the need for alternative investment platforms. Through hundreds of tech meetups, he recognized the revolutionary potential of tokenization, particularly with Ethereum, leading to the development of LATOKEN. Since its launch, LATOKEN has become a prominent exchange, supporting millions of users and thousands of digital assets, emphasizing early identification of innovative projects.
Before LATOKEN, I ran a long-short equity hedge fund... At that turning point, I had two choices: join the highly competitive Wall Street environment or pursue an entirely new avenue-blockchain technology.
Ethereum, launched by Vitalik Buterin, particularly intrigued me because startups suddenly had the tools to essentially "print their own money" through tokenization. It became clear to me that blockchain would soon revolutionize asset ownership.
Today, LATOKEN supports more than 4 million user accounts from 127 countries and lists over 2,000 digital assets. We're consistently ranked among the top 50 crypto exchanges globally.
My passion is deeply personal. Growing up in post-Soviet Russia during the economic collapse of the 1990s profoundly shaped my worldview.
