Samsung’s former chief strategy officer and electronics president made the switch to crypto, startup Astra Protocol announced this week. Astra, a decentralized Web3 compliance and KYC firm, brought in Young Sohn as an advisor. No stranger to disruptive technology, Sohn said he is excited to be at the forefront of the next major moves in the space. Compliance, he said, is going to be the key to moving crypto forward. “What we are currently witnessing is a paradigm shift, where emerging technologies have the impact to transform our everyday lives,” Sohn said in a statement Thursday. “However, market headwinds and rapidly evolving business landscapes are stifling adoption.” (Blockworks)
