Alex Mashinsky is the CEO and founder of Celsius, the platform that lets you earn interest on your crypto and use it as collateral to get fiat loans. Celsius offers a platform of curated services that have been abandoned by big banks – fair interest, zero fees, and fast transactions. Their goal is to disrupt the financial industry, one user at a time, and introduce financial freedom through crypto.

Alex Mashinsky

Why you should listen:

Alex explains the successful journey that has seen users deposit $10B in assets with Celsius. The Celsius token was one of the best-performing crypto assets in 2020.

Key takeaway:

Alex says Celsius is a supporter of DeFi and they are the bigger user of Aave, as one example. Celsius is aimed at noobs or everyday holders of Bitcoin and Ethereum and allows them to generate yield or get loans without the risk and knowledge barrier of DeFi.
