Daniel Kim

Dr. Daniel Kim (BA/MA/PhD physics Harvard, MBA Yale) is the Founder/CEO of Sweetwater Digital Asset Consulting, LLC, an independent advisory service connecting the “new money” of non-commercial, open-source, grass-roots, cypherpunk cryptocurrency projects, with the incumbent “old money” industries of portfolio management, trust and estate planning, and structural asset protection.

The multidisciplinary facets of decentralized digital assets such as Monero and Bitcoin are a natural fit for Daniel, a Renaissance man with wide-ranging achievements in the basic science, performing arts, healthcare, and financial sectors. A 2013 winner of the CFA Institute’s prestigious Graham and Dodd top award for original research in applied finance, he previously served as Director of Research at Zebra Capital Management, an institutional equity asset manager founded by Yale finance professor Roger Ibbotson. With extensive university-level teaching experience within STEM department, business school, and medical school settings, Dr. Kim’s clear insights into the emerging asset class of cryptocurrencies are increasingly in demand — not only as an elite consultant, but also as an interview subject and conference keynote speaker.
