Dmitry Tokarev started his career as a Quant, having graduated from Imperial College, London, with a Distinction in Risk Management and Financial Engineering. He later helped to build an asset management firm as its CTO and as a Partner. It was there he observed a gap in the market for Copper.co, as he found there were no feasible options available to institutional investors that provided the necessary security, control and speed for storing and trading digital assets. The firm has since grown to service more than 500 clients, across 4 offices and 300 staff.
