Summary
Zack Pokorny is an associate-level research professional with 12 years of experience blending crypto research, product development, and real asset finance across New York and multiple U.S. markets. He currently serves as CIO and lead researcher at e-Cobalt Investing while contributing to Galaxy’s research team and SteelWave’s acquisitions and development efforts, bringing cross-disciplinary rigor from fundraising to underwriting. Zack has a track record of turning on-chain data and proprietary algorithms into investable strategies—he co-led developers to ship an actively managed $2M spot BTC fund and built internal tools that informed listings and coverage picked up by major outlets. His background in real estate acquisitions ($1.4B+ transactions) and hands-on crypto market analysis gives him a rare perspective at the intersection of traditional asset valuation and decentralized finance. Passionate about financial inclusion, he frames software and research as levers to extend modern financial tools to the unbanked.
