DANIEL PINEDA is a 6x Forbes featured American entrepreneur recognized for his work in creating “the stock market of apps”; a collateral loan model where app makers can secure loans with digital royalties. Understanding that investing in individual projects is risky,
Daniel’s innovative twist was to bundle apps into portfolios. Daniel believes a portfolio of digital goods has the potential to compete with traditional assets like stocks and real estate.
Daniel entered the blockchain space in 2016 with an interest in conditional payments using smart contracts to automate lending. Since then smart contracts and other decentralized applications have opened access to new sources of liquidity for digital brands.
Building on this idea of bundling, Daniel advised his sponsors to combine his project with other blockchain apps into a portfolio. This suggestion saw his project apptrade.io funded in 2017.
Apptrade.io was one of the first 80 blockchain projects in the United States. One challenge that emerged from this experience was being funded in crypto while paying overhead in fiat. The company relied on liquidity providers in the Bitcoin over the counter (OTC) space to convert Bitcoin into fiat to cover operating expenses.
Realising he wasn’t alone in this problem, in mid 2018, Daniel started privately advising various Dapp projects in obtaining liquidity.
Through his advisory roles and building his own blockchain apps, Daniel has garnered a network of investors and developers in the blockchain community.
After investing in compliance research, Daniel and his team of advisors started drafting a comprehensive framework for standardizing blockchain regulation.
Among funding efforts, Daniel is now strengthening alliances to support his policy coalition and continues to advise and build projects in the areas of digital goods and gaming.
