Hong Fang is the CEO of Okcoin, a global, US-licensed cryptocurrency platform serving 190+ countries — the largest reach of any US-based exchange. Having experienced the opening of China's economy, Hong worked at Goldman Sachs for nearly a decade, driven by her passion for free markets.

She holds an MBA in Finance, Accounting and Entrepreneurship from the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business.
