Grayscale, a digital asset-focused investment platform, has chosen Sebastian Pulido as its managing director, head of onchain asset management.
In this newly created role, Pulido will lead the development of products and strategies that meet institutional demand for onchain investment solutions and report to Steve Vanourny, Grayscale’s head of index.
He brings over 15 years’ experience to the position, spanning TradFi, institutional blockchain strategy, tokenisation, and DeFi.
Most recently, Pulio served as director of institutional and DeFi business at Aave Labs, leading the firm’s institutional capital markets strategy.
He also spent just over two years with Onyx by J.P. Morgan, now known as Kinexys, and 12 years with Goldman Sachs.
