Aron resigned from being the Chairman of HDEX - The Worlds First Hydrogen Exchange and Marketplace last November after running it for a year and half. He realized, that SDG Funds could not deliver, family offices wanted more control and Venture did not understand Tokenization. Banks were too busy shutting down after they heard token. Most importantly our strategy was too early to fund and the period for Hydrogen to be certified to a tradeable unit was years away under current funding steams.
Having recently come back to the US last August, after many years in Bermuda and London, investing into financial infrastructure for moneys - fiat, crypto and digital assets infrastructure. It all started with Regulation of Digital Asset Banking Act in Bermuda in 2017 and ended with HDEX in London in 2024. In between we invested in, started/worked with and were board members of 12 companies in digital assets and money systems infrastructure.
Given the USA is now made up its mind directionally on Regulation, Growth Sectors and Global Investors and now with Institutions interested in Tokenization - We are pivoting all resources on Real World Assets.
