#105: Crypto Asset Management & Fund Accounting with Damon Xu from 1Token

Crypto funds trade across exchanges, wallets, custodians, and DeFi protocols.

Trading may be easy but reconciling everything isn’t.

In this episode, I speak with Damon Xu, Founder & CEO of 1Token, about the infrastructure behind institutional crypto asset management.

1Token is a SOC 2 certified platform used by crypto funds and asset managers to manage portfolios, risk, and reporting across CeFi and DeFi, aggregating trades, transactions, and positions across exchanges, custody, OTC desks, wallets, and protocols while automating reconciliation, NAV, and reporting.
