As an early executive at TrustToken, he helped launch the TrueCurrencies suite, which reached a combined market capitalization exceeding $3 billion.

He was also a founding member of TrueFi, the first major RWA protocol and one of the earliest liquid RWA tokens, which processed over $1.8 billion in transactions. At TrueCoin (Archblock), de Lorraine played a pivotal role in establishing the Stablecoin Standard, a global industry body for stablecoins.

De Lorraine commented, “It’s an honor to join Akemona at such a pivotal time. The company’s blockchain infrastructure and tokenization capabilities are among the most sophisticated I have seen in the industry. Over the next three to six months, we will execute key initiatives to expand our institutional reach, deepen our RWA offerings, and strengthen our position in tokenized capital markets.”

Akemona’s platform enables the creation of blockchain-native digital securities, providing immutability and transparency of financial transactions. Benefits include reduced administrative costs, real-time capitalization table tracking, and verifiable on-chain ownership.

“Our mission is to create a more connected, inclusive, and digitally empowered financial ecosystem,” Srivastava said. “By enabling institutions, businesses, and communities to collaborate on digital assets, we are addressing a major challenge in finance, broadening access to capital for innovative projects worldwide.”

The platform guides issuers through offering creation, regulatory document generation, and automated smart contract deployment. Investors can review offerings, invest via multiple payment methods, and receive digital securities directly in their wallets, providing a seamless and secure investment experience.

Akemona’s blockchain-agnostic platform operates across both permissioned and permissionless networks. It also allows institutional clients to customise offerings, streamline regulatory filings, and manage digital assets more efficiently, enabling faster capital market transactions.
