Meet Singapore's cryptocurrency czars

Their combined token sales proceeds hit US$381.42m in 2017.

Singapore Business Review rounded up the biggest initial coin offering (ICOs) raised in Singapore last 2017. Based on our compiled list, these major deals hit a whopping US$381.42m in total proceeds, with average funding around US$25.43m as businesses increasingly shun traditional funding methods in favour of token sales.

For our April-May 2018 issue, get to know the people behind these successful ICOs.

Most of the people in the list are former bankers seeking to disrupt the fintech space but one is a doctor whilst another is a former magazine publisher. What do they have in common? They ditched their hefty paying jobs to venture into the world of cryptocurrency and are now worth millions.

We’ve rounded up the most promising cryptocurrency-backed startups, and give you a glimpse into the lives of these cryptocurrency kings.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
