How did you get into affiliation? Were you always focused in crypto?
I started my professional career as a junior consultant at AXA in 2017 and in 2018 I was invited to join CryptoCompare. This opportunity allowed me to enter the crypto industry and I have never regretted my decision to become part of CryptoCompare.
Tell us a bit about CryptoCompare, about your business model, concept, and culture.
CryptoCompare is a central authority for clear and concise information, offering unrivalled breadth, scope, and depth of data, bridging the gap between the crypto asset and traditional financial markets.
Founded in 2014, CryptoCompare is a global cryptocurrency market data provider, giving institutional and retail investors access to real-time, high-quality, reliable market and pricing data on 5,300+ coins and 240,000+ currency pairs. By aggregating and analysing tick data from globally recognised exchanges, and seamlessly integrating different datasets in the cryptocurrency price, CryptoCompare provides a comprehensive, holistic overview of the market. At a granular level, we produce: cryptocurrency trade data, order book data, blockchain and historical data, social data, reports, and a suite of cryptocurrency indices.
What do you produce at CryptoCompare?
We pride ourselves on our data integrity and scope of data and we continually invest in our technology and API to ensure our infrastructure remains robust and both the retail and institutional investors can access data to execute their investment portfolios. CryptoCompare adheres to the most rigorous standards to safeguard data integrity, normalising global sources to ensure consistency and confidence in the market. To ensure the integrity of our data, we regularly review crypto exchanges, monitor for market abuse, and take regional anomalies and geographical movements into consideration.
Affiliates-wise, we give companies the opportunity to reach our large and engaged community of users. We provide them with access to valuable exposure and help them grow their user base.
We carefully select top-performing crypto casinos and offer them the chance to be part of our network. We strive to provide our users with access to the best and most trustworthy crypto-gambling platforms and promotions, and this partnership helps us achieve that goal.
What sets you apart from other crypto affiliates? What makes you unique?
What sets us apart from other crypto affiliates is being one of the pioneers in the crypto market. This has allowed us to build a large community of over 1 million users and establish a long-standing reputation and trust both within the crypto community and with traditional finance. Our community and reputation give us a significant level of influence in the space, which is highly valued by those seeking recommendations on products to use. Additionally, our personal engagement with our community through events and face-to-face meetings sets us apart from other comparison websites, making us a trusted and reliable source of information and recommendations in the crypto industry.
What do you consider as success and how do you measure it at CryptoCompare?
At CryptoCompare, success is measured by our ability to help our clients achieve their goals. Our main priority is to assist our clients in reaching their objectives, and we consider it a successful outcome when they are able to do so with the support and resources we provide. This customer-focused approach is at the heart of everything we do, and our success is determined by the satisfaction and success of our clients.
How was your 300 Spartans’ experience?
My first experience with the 300 Spartans event was last year in Malta and it was amazing. The event had the right balance between professionalism and entertainment, making it a memorable and enjoyable experience. I was impressed by the level of organisation and the high-quality content presented during the event. Overall, it was a great opportunity to network, learn more about the industry, and engage in new partnerships which helped us provide even greater value to our customers and solidify our position in the market.
Are you a regular attendee at the SiGMA events? Did you attend SiGMA Africa? SiGMA Americas, Asia, Balkans/CIS, Eurasia, Europe – which of these expo shows would you likely book on your diary for 2023?
Had my first experience last year in Malta. My plan is to keep participating in the next editions, would be great to keep going to the editions in Europe and potentially attend SiGMA Americas in 2023 if my schedule allows it.
Tell us a bit about yourself – after all, business is done with people, not just companies! Your hobbies, favourite book, favourite quote, whether you are into Gaming yourself, etc.
I have always been a fan of online poker, ever since I was a teenager. I used to play it as a hobby, but it became more serious when I graduated. However, life took me in a different direction, but my passion for the sport remains unchanged.
In terms of my reading habits, it’s hard to choose a favourite book. I can say that the most recent book I read was Atomic Habits by James Clear. The book emphasizes the importance of making small, incremental changes to achieve long-term success, which aligns with my personal belief that success comes from consistent efforts over time.
This also aligns with one quote that I find very factual: “If you don’t fight for your future, you have to accept the future that comes”. This quote resonates with me because it highlights the importance of taking control of your life and actively working toward the future you want.
