Olympic Speed Skater, Gold Medalist Applies Lessons To New Crypto Venture

Tweet This

Just back from Korea where he served as an NBC commentator on the Winter Olympics, Apolo Ohno joined me for a discussion about skating and his new venture in cryptocurrencies.

Ohno, who won a total of eight medals, including two gold medals, as a short track speed skater in three Olympics, beginning with the 2002 games in my home town of Salt Lake City, worked as an NBC commentator for the first time in Sochi.

Of the just completed games in PyeongChang, he said, “The overall experience was phenomenal,” adding, “I feel blessed to be a part of them. I love going to the Olympics.”

Lately, Ohno has been putting his considerable energy into a new venture, HybridBlock, that plans to operate a three-tiered trading and content platform for cryptocurrency traders. The company expects to commence operations in April after completing an initial coin offering or ICO in March.

Ohno targets a total of $50 million in the raise. About half of that has been committed in pre-sales, Ohno says. The company has been in development for the past year and now has 35 employees in the New York, Santa Monica, California, Ukraine and Korea.

The site will start with educational materials to help novices better understand the market and basic tools for buying and selling cryptocurrencies. This first tier tool is called BaseTrade; it is intended to provide the easiest way for consumers to trade and store cryptocurrencies.

The second tier tool is called HybridExchange. Ohno says, it should be “the best way to transact with new digital currencies, including HybridBlock Token, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and select other utility tokens.”
