Lorien Gabel, a veteran in building internet infrastructure companies, has co-founded Figment in 2018, recognizing the potential of proof-of-stake networks. Figment has become one of the world’s largest independent staking providers, managing $15 billion in assets and serving over 500 institutional clients. Gabel, who will be speaking at Consensus Hong Kong, discusses Figment’s expansion into Asia, bitcoin staking experiments, and the company’s careful process for deciding which new crypto networks to support. Figment currently has 130 employees and plans to reach 150 by the end of the year, with a focus on expanding into key Asian markets. However, Gabel acknowledges that Asia’s diverse economies and regulatory landscapes present unique challenges for adoption of staking services.
