Trust Machines, a leading business that is developing the biggest ecosystem of Bitcoin apps, has just revealed that Dan Held has joined the firm as an advisor. Held will serve as an advisor to the company and will play an essential part in expanding the business. In this role, he will contribute to the expansion of Trust Machines’ applications that are based on the Bitcoin blockchain.
Held is best known in the industry for his role as the Director of Growth Marketing at Kraken, the Director of Product for Blockchain.com, and the co-founder of Zeroblock, which Blockchain.com subsequently purchased in the second-ever all-Bitcoin takeover. Notably, Held has amassed more than 750,000 followers across various social media channels, establishing himself as an influential instructor within the Bitcoin community.
According to CEO of Trust Machines, Muneeb Ali:
“Dan has an amazing ability to simplify complex concepts and reach large audiences. We’re seeing a revival of Bitcoin builders’ culture, and Dan’s work with us on growth marketing can help accelerate the adoption of Bitcoin layers and unlock productive capital through Bitcoin apps.”
Building & Scaling Strategies For Trust Machines Products
As part of his responsibilities in this position, Dan will concentrate on expanding the capabilities of the Trust Machines marketing department, coming up with new marketing approaches for Trust Machines’ services, and offering guidance to Muneeb Ali, the company’s chief executive officer. This new position is a natural progression for him, given his extensive background in product and marketing with companies including Kraken, Blockchain.com, and Uber.
During the second quarter of 2022, the team announced the following additions:
Asiff Hirji: Advisor President of Figure and former President & COO of Coinbase
Manas Mohapatra: General Counsel. Formerly BNY Mellon and Twitter
Rena Shah: Head of Strategy and former Head of Exchange at Binance.US
Aubrey Strobel: Communications Advisor and former Head of Comms at Lolli
Trust Machines reported in February that it has successfully raised $150 million from Breyer Capital, Digital Currency Group, GoldenTree, Hivemind, and Union Square Ventures. The funds would be used to develop innovation based on Bitcoin and increase Bitcoin’s use as a foundation for decentralized financial innovation.
Developing The Biggest Bitcoin Apps Ecosystem
The objective of Trust Machines, which was co-founded by Dr. Muneeb Ali and Professor J.P. Singh of Princeton University’s Department of Computer Science, is to build the greatest ecosystem of Bitcoin applications and to expand the Bitcoin industry. Trust Machines is developing apps with the goal of making Bitcoin more useful and opening the door to an economy worth a trillion dollars.
Trust Machines intends to develop the apps and underlying technology that are required to liberate the full potential of Bitcoin as a settlement layer in financial transactions. The business will capitalize on the success of Stacks, a Bitcoin programming layer. Launching Stacks’ mainnet was a significant step forward in the process of making Bitcoin programmable. Trust Machines will enhance this programming layer to make it faster and more efficient to develop on, and it will create Bitcoin-productive apps, such as trustless Bitcoin lending.
According to Trust Machines Growth Marketing Advisor Dan Held,
“I’m thrilled to announce my role at Trust Machines as an advisor. I believe Trust Machines and its team is uniquely positioned to bring DeFi applications to the Bitcoin protocol, inevitably unlocking trillions in value.”
