AFX Appoints Experienced Practitioner Ken C to Lead Global Expansion and Growth
AFX, a Layer-1 (L1) blockchain purpose-built for decentralised derivative instruments, has appointed experienced practitioner Ken C as Head of Growth. The appointment is part of AFX’s strategy to expand its global trading ecosystem and drive adoption of blockchain-based derivative infrastructure.
Ken has more than nine years of experience in the financial, Web3, and artificial intelligence (AI) sectors. He began his career at HSBC and DBS Bank before moving into the crypto industry, holding several strategic positions at OKX, Animoca Brands, and various start-ups. His experience spans ecosystem development, business strategy, product innovation, and AI utilisation.
Ken’s appointment as an executive coincides with a critical phase in AFX’s growth following its mainnet launch and the continued expansion of its decentralised derivatives ecosystem.
“As blockchain-based trading infrastructure evolves, more traders are seeking high-performance platforms without sacrificing control over their assets,” said Ken C. “AFX addresses this need by delivering professional-grade trading infrastructure that prioritises transparency and user asset ownership.”
As Head of Growth, Ken will lead global trader acquisition strategies, partnership development, community expansion, and other strategic business initiatives. His primary focus includes strengthening relationships with professional traders, market makers, and ecosystem partners across key global markets.
Unlike many decentralised trading platforms built on general-purpose blockchains, AFX has developed an independent trading layer specifically designed for derivatives markets. The platform combines low-latency execution, institutional-grade trading infrastructure, and blockchain-based transparency.
“The growth of the crypto industry depends not only on technology but also on trust and community participation,” Ken continued. “We aim to build a global trading community that plays a role in shaping the future of decentralised markets.”
Ken’s appointment also reflects AFX’s commitment to building a sustainable ecosystem as it expands its product offerings, liquidity networks, and user base across multiple countries.
