I am a seasoned legal professional with a strong focus on blockchain, cryptocurrency, and Web3 technologies. Currently, I serve as General Counsel at LBank, a global crypto exchange with over 15 million users across 150+ countries. In this role, I have established and managed a comprehensive multinational compliance system, ensuring adherence to international financial regulations such as the FATF Travel Rule, IEEPA, and BSA. I engage with regulators to secure financial and VASP licenses in jurisdictions including the U.S., Canada, Australia, and the UAE. Additionally, I provide legal support for equity financing and venture capital investments, and contribute to innovative projects such as crypto credit cards and data protection frameworks.
Beyond my role at LBank, I am a Director at DeSci Sino, a global Web3 community advancing decentralized science. I advise on data compliance, foundation incorporation, and governance for projects such as Open Biobank, and actively foster public engagement in discussions on tech regulation and scientific education.
Previously, I was Legal Counsel at ContentFi Labs, where I developed legal frameworks for decentralized platforms and integrated IP licensing models for creators. My career has been dedicated to navigating complex regulatory landscapes, building compliance solutions, and supporting innovative business models, combining deep legal expertise with a forward-thinking approach to emerging technologies.
