Most Influential 2021: Michael Shaulov
A DeFi powerhouse finds a balance between decentralization and compliance.
Michael Shaulov is CEO of decentralized finance (DeFi) infrastructure firm Fireblocks. Shaulov’s company isn’t as exciting as many crypto startups or food-themed DeFi projects – at least on the surface. But Fireblocks is betting it can find the right balance between decentralization and compliance, potentially bringing DeFi to more professional circles. This autumn, DeFi A-lister Aave chose the custody firm for Aave Arc, a version of the Aave DeFi protocol aimed at serving institutions.
