An early crypto adopter, Alessio ventured into the space with Arepo Capital, a pioneering cryptocurrency hedge fund, in 2016. Beyond Hex Trust, he co-founded Clearpool, a decentralised capital markets ecosystem, marking a significant stride towards uncollateralised liquidity solutions in DeFi. In 2023, he co-founded Synnax, the first decentralized on-chain intelligence protocol providing AI-driven credit rating standards for the digital asset industry. Alessio holds a Master’s degree in telecommunication engineering from La Sapienza University, an MBA from IE Business School, a Quantitative Finance diploma from Stanford, and the prestigious CFA Charter since 2012. As a speaker, Alessio brings a blend of insight and inspiration, driving discussions on the fusion of traditional finance with blockchain’s boundless possibilities. His vision is clear: to usher in a new era of digital asset management, marked by security, efficiency, and transparency.
