All this is vital for boosting TrustToken’s efforts for institutional DeFi adoption. The move will also bring the firm’s vision of collaboration between DeFi and TradFi as the financial sector of the future.

All these aforementioned veterans will be joining an exec team that includes massive names from Ethworks acquisition.

The same official notes reveal that Marek Kirejczyk is an experienced founder, engineer, and EthWorks’ co-founder; he’s joining TrustToken’s ranks as CTO.

“I’m confident that the new senior leadership team will prove decisive for TrueFi’s development.”

This is what Rafael Cosman, CEO and Co-founder of TrustToken said.

He continued and explained the following:

“This is the leadership team that will take TrueFi from $1Bn to $1Tn which requires going way beyond the crypto lenders and borrowers that TrueFi primarily works with today.”

The whole team strongly believes that the next frontier for finance will be to:

“unbundle traditional banking, bringing lending on-chain. TrustToken is pioneering the scaffolds which will support institutional adoption, and I’m excited to join this journey.”

The current financial system is undergoing massive transformations, and TrustToken is definitely riding the wave of innovation with its latest moves.
