Adam Ludwin

Adam Ludwinis the co-founder and CEO of Chain, a Bitcoin developer platform. Prior to founding Chain, Ludwin wasa venture investorin companies such as Slack, Vine, Kik, and Paperless Post. His first encounter with Bitcoin was in 2011 when he read the original white paper by Satoshi Nakamoto. He realized the potential of Bitcoin and blockchain technology to transform financial services from the ground up. Chain's core premise is to use blockchain technology to transform the medium for financial assets by digitizing existing currencies and assets.

Ludwin believes that the strongest use cases forblockchain technology in financial servicesare in areas with a high number of intermediaries, such as commercial payments, capital markets, and the repo markets. Financial companies have recognized the potential of blockchain technology, but its adoption is not a straightforward process due to the resistance to change by incumbents and intermediaries.
