TEAM
Word from our team
“With an extensive experience in financial markets, I have seen first hand how the 08’ crisis has effected global markets. Reckless behaviour from banks some called “too big to fail”. De-regulation and crony capitalism have shown how human interference can lead to abuses and value destruction. Blockchain in simple terms, reduces the “human error” component of our models used, which is why a full adoption of the technology made perfect sense. At Akwan, we believe it will be inevitable for businesses to make the switch and we can only support those who do and assist our clients in identifying them.”

The number of active wallets can indicate the level of adoption and usage of a particular cryptocurrency. It shows how many people are holding or transacting with cryptocurrency.
This metric measures the processing power of the network, which is important for the security and stability of the network.
This metric shows the highest price a particular cryptocurrency has ever reached. It’s an important metric for understanding the historical performance of a cryptocurrency.
This metric measures the degree of fluctuation in the price of a cryptocurrency over a certain period of time. Higher volatility can make a cryptocurrency riskier but also potentially more rewarding
