Yuval Rooz

Co-Founder and CEO Digital Asset

Yuval co-founded Digital Asset in 2014 to fill a gap in the blockchain space, ultimately taking the technology beyond cryptocurrencies and using it to bring greater efficiency to financial services. Under his leadership, Digital Asset has grown from a fledgling start up to a leading enterprise blockchain company whose technology is used by top institutions and market infrastructures around the globe. With a vision for a world where businesses seamlessly connect regardless of the underlying technology, he is taking Digital Asset to the next level by creating a Global Economic Network that will fundamentally change the future of business and how companies interact. During his tenure, Yuval hired the majority of the company’s executive leadership, established its presence in six countries, and facilitated the acquisition of four tech startups in two years. He has secured more than $300 Million in financing for the company from a range of strategic investors, including leading financial and technology companies Accenture, Citi, Goldman Sachs, IBM, J.P. Morgan, Salesforce, Samsung, and VMware, among others and most recently private equity firms 7RIDGE and Eldridge. Yuval has built trusted relationships with Digital Asset’s clients and partners, growing its customer base threefold in 2020. Digital Asset’s customer base includes organizations across financial services, healthcare and insurance, such as the Australian Securities Exchange, BNP Paribas, Broadridge, Change Healthcare, and Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing.
