About Trevor Koverko

Trevor Koverko’s career began with success in professional hockey, and accelerated into the brave new world of cryptocurrency.

He was drafted by the New York Rangers in the 2005 NHL entry draft, but that exciting chapter of his professional success ended with a serious car accident in 2011. The collision with a fully loaded transport truck on the Ontario 401 almost ended his life. Years of rehabilitation and re-learning followed, and with it a new determination to prove

he was a winner, once again.

After graduating from Ivey Business School at Western University and touring important centers of industry and innovation across the globe, including Wall Street, Silicon Valley, and China, Trevor began to explore opportunities in cryptocurrencies. He immersed himself in this newly emerging industry by creating and investing in many notable companies in the blockchain field.

With his founding of Polymath in 2017, the crypto world began to take notice of this new player. Polymath’s new angle on security tokens was revolutionary. Suddenly safe, secure trading of securities on the blockchain was not only possible, but often optimal. These so-called “crypto coins” represent fractional ownership in a real-world asset, such as shares traded on stock exchanges. Transfers are limited to verified users. The tokens exist on the blockchain and provide instant liquidity to power financial and security transactions worldwide.

Because these tokens are backed by tangible assets, they essentially bridge the gap between crypto and traditional securities by hosting a number of features that investors find appealing, including constant liquidity, instant settlements, and compliance with global securities laws.

Trevor sees the blockchain as offering financial fairness and transparency to all people around the world via an apolitical platform that functions via authenticated peer-to-peer transactions.

Trevor’s influence extends far beyond security tokens and Polymath. He has been a founder for a number of successful start-ups, including Matador, Tokens.com, FirstCarbon and and Layer 2 Ventures.

As a prudent investor and crypto pioneer, Trevor is passionate about the future of cryptocurrencies. In his mind, the key to fulfilling crypto’s promise will be new innovations and discoveries that will bind crypto prices tightly to other measures of value, whether they are mined in the ground or on server farms; and whether they are listed on Wall Street or on the balance sheets of large corporations.
