Ben Nadareski is the CEO and Co-Founder of Solstice Labs, where he’s redefining how yield is generated in DeFi. Backed by Deus X Capital, Solstice Labs pioneers permissionless, institutional-grade strategies on Solana, making sophisticated trading approaches and sustainable yields accessible to everyone.
Previously, Ben led the first crypto-derivative trades with global banks as Vice President of Global Trading at Galaxy Digital. He advanced strategic investments in digital assets as Director of M&A at SIX Digital Exchange, helped expand blockchain adoption across Asia with R3 by introducing decentralized tech to central banks and financial institutions, and developed onchain OTC data networks while leading global business development at DrumG, a Consensys-backed startup.
Ben has served as a guest lecturer at the Wharton School of Business on topics including crypto, DeFi and capital markets. Prior to his 2013 leap into web3, Ben worked on the Interest Rate and FX Derivates trading desk at Société Générale. He comes from a scientific background as a published nuclear physics researcher with a degree in Physics, and still today, applies that same scientific rigor to his work in crypto.
