About Ian Balina
In 2017, Ian used a systematic, data-driven framework to turn $20,000 into over $5 million in crypto — documenting the journey to an audience of millions.
Ian built Token Metrics to productize that approach. The AI-powered platform has grown to $18M+ in revenue and 100K+ users. Before crypto, he was a Watson Analytics Evangelist at IBM, where he achieved Hundred Percent Club status and ranked in the top 500 of 400,000 employees.
Today, Ian also runs Token Metrics Ventures — $10M+ raised, 40+ fund investments — and has made 100+ angel investments across crypto and tech. He holds an MS in Computer Engineering and has been featured in CNBC, Bloomberg, WSJ, Forbes, and Business Insider.
