Ex-Head of Exchange at Coinbase, Ex-Head of USDC at Circle, now building TrueX, a non-custodial, stablecoin-native crypto exchange
We’ve been waiting weeks for this and I’m excited to announce my new venture! TrueX , a non-custodial, stablecoin-native exchange representing the next evolution in crypto markets, today announced that we have officially launched out of stealth. TrueX is the flagship product of True Markets, a platform dedicated to offering markets and liquidity as a service globally through reliable, innovative trading technology. I really enjoyed talking to Leo... “We just rethought the entire thing,” said Gupta in an interview with Fortune. The fundamental challenge for crypto exchanges is building bridges between the worlds of fiat currencies and digital assets. Stablecoins first emerged in popularity with dollar-backed solutions such as Tether and USDC, a collaboration between Circle and Coinbase, so that traders could have a crypto-native solution for holding value in a less volatile asset than cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin or Ethereum. Under the guidance of Gupta, Coinbase became the first exchange to fully integrate around a stablecoin by unifying USDC and USD, meaning they were essentially treated as equivalents within the exchange, simplifying the order books as traders moved in between crypto and fiat. Before its collapse, FTX went even a step further by using a variety of stablecoins for the settlement of trades. For now, TrueX will operate similarly to Coinbase, using PayPal’s PYUSD as the default settlement currency, meaning it will serve as the equivalent of dollars within the TrueX ecosystem. But soon after TrueX launches its trading functionality in the next two to four weeks, according to Gupta, TrueX aims to become stablecoin agnostic. While the founders didn’t say so directly, a likely reason they chose PYUSD as TrueX’s default stablecoin is to choose a different lane from Coinbase, which favors USDC, and which Gupta described as the “best job I’ve ever had.” While PYUSD has not achieved the stratospheric growth of USDC or Tether, its close ties to PayPal—along with issuer Paxos—offer promising opportunities.

We’re honored to support Capitalize's journey to bring retirement account transfers into the digital age. We’ve known Gaurav Sharma and the Capitalize team since 2020 and have been incredibly impressed by their thoughtful, systematic approach to building a great company in this important industry.
I’m very excited to announce our $19mm Series B fundraise today, led by RRE Ventures and with participation from existing and new investors including Canapi Ventures, Bling Capital, and Industry Ventures. Four years since launching Capitalize, we’re proud of the progress we’ve made. From a standing start, our platform is now processing billions of dollars in rollovers annually, having grown over 6x in the last 18 months. We’re fortunate to work with some of the best financial institutions in the world through our Enterprise offering and APIs, helping them better serve their users. Most importantly, we’ve helped Americans from all walks of life take control of their retirement savings. But we have much more to do. Millions of Americans still struggle to make the most of their retirement accounts, and their financial institutions struggle to fully serve them. Modern technology has an important role in solving these problems, and we’re energized by the opportunity. We’re grateful for the trust of our incredible users, partners, investors, and teammates. Onwards and upwards. https://lnkd.in/efzedjXX
