Violet Abtahi is the CEO and Founder of Platonic, a company developing blockchain infrastructure to solve counterparty risk and privacy challenges in financial markets. With over a decade of experience in both traditional finance and blockchain technology, Violet transitioned from a mathematics background on Wall Street to building next-generation financial infrastructure.

Violet argues that counterparty risk is the fundamental bottleneck preventing widespread adoption of blockchain-based financial systems. By combining private blockchain technology with automated smart contracts, Platonic aims to create the infrastructure needed for a more efficient, automated, and less risky financial future.

In this podcast you will learn:

  • Why she made the move from traditional finance into the blockchain world.
  • The founding story of Platonic and the two major challenges she wanted to solve.
  • How finance can be autonomous, intelligent, and borderless.
  • Who they are targeting with their solutions.
  • How instant settlement with smart contracts can remove the counterparty risk.
  • The pilot they did with Vanguard, State Street, Citi and Ford.
  • What it will take for all real world assets to be tokenized.
  • Why automated regulation is a key component for this to happen.
  • What asset class will lead the way in tokenization.
  • Violet’s priorities for the next 12 months.
