Bridging traditional finance and the blockchain frontier.

I help institutions, innovators, and governments navigate the shift to tokenised finance, digital assets, and public blockchain infrastructure.

I'm Kenneth Bok — a strategist, investor, and author working at the intersection of traditional finance and digital assets. With over a decade of experience across equities trading, blockchain ecosystems, and venture building, I currently lead digital asset venture building at SC Ventures, the FinTech and innovation arm of Standard Chartered, and support the development of institutional-grade digital asset ventures.

🧭 Mission & Perspective

I believe the next phase of financial evolution will be defined by open, programmable infrastructure — enabled by public blockchains, stablecoins, and tokenised real-world assets. My goal is to help institutions and ecosystems move beyond experimentation and into meaningful adoption.

Whether through writing, advising, or venture development, I work to translate complexity into strategy — and ideas into execution.
