FULLERTON, United States — August 16, 2025:
Akemona, Inc., a California-based innovator in blockchain-powered finance, has named Alex de Lorraine as its new Chief Executive Officer, signaling a major strategic push into the global real-world asset (RWA) tokenization sector.
Alex de Lorraine, a veteran of the Web3 and fintech space, brings over 20 years of experience spanning corporate giants like Google and Pfizer, and blockchain trailblazers such as TrustToken and Archblock. He played a pivotal role in launching TrueCurrencies, a suite of regulated stablecoins with a combined market cap exceeding $3 billion, and co-founded TrueFi, one of the earliest and most successful decentralized RWA lending protocols, which has facilitated over $1.8 billion in transactions.
“It’s an honor to join Akemona at a moment when blockchain is redefining how capital markets operate,” said de Lorraine. “The company’s infrastructure and technical foundation are among the most advanced I’ve encountered. Over the coming months, we’ll execute a strategic roadmap to scale our RWA platform and expand our institutional partnerships.”
Akemona’s platform offers end-to-end tools for issuing, managing, and tokenizing digital assets such as smart bonds, securities tokens, and utility tokens. It allows businesses and financial institutions to onboard capital more efficiently via decentralized networks while ensuring compliance with global regulations.
According to Ravi Srivastava, Co-Founder and Chief Product Officer at Akemona, “Alex’s depth of experience in RWA innovation, stablecoin infrastructure, and digital asset scaling makes him the ideal leader for our next growth chapter. His appointment will accelerate our expansion across institutional, crypto, and fintech ecosystems.”
Brady Matthews, Chief Technology Officer, echoed the sentiment: “With successful asset launches in 2024, we’re now ready to scale with agility. Alex’s leadership aligns perfectly with our mission to redefine capital markets through blockchain.”
Akemona’s infrastructure supports both permissioned and permissionless networks, enabling high levels of customization for institutional clients and streamlining regulatory filings, smart contract deployment, and digital asset management. Its platform also ensures on-chain ownership verification, real-time cap table tracking, and lower administrative overhead.
De Lorraine, who holds an MBA from the University of Münster and a Doctorate from California Southern University, is fluent in both German and English, further reinforcing Akemona’s international ambitions.
“Our goal is to build a globally inclusive financial ecosystem powered by decentralized technology,” said Srivastava. “By enabling broader access to capital, we are addressing one of the biggest challenges in global finance—empowering innovation through accessibility.”
With de Lorraine at the helm, Akemona is positioning itself at the forefront of the tokenized capital markets revolution, offering flexible, secure, and scalable solutions that are increasingly in demand across the fintech, DeFi, and institutional finance sectors.
