New York, New York, September 11, 2024, Chainwire
dVIN Labs, the development team behind the dVIN protocol, today announced the appointment of Raoul Pal, co-founder and CEO of Real Vision and long-time wine enthusiast, to its board of directors.
David Garrett, Co-Founder and CEO of dVIN Labs, commented on the appointment: “Raoul has been a passionate supporter of dVIN from the beginning, sharing our vision of revolutionizing the wine industry through blockchain, data, DePIN and tokenization. His extensive network, passion for wine and deep understanding of fintech make him the perfect person to help us unlock the immense potential of the $1 trillion wine asset class.”
Prior to the launch of Stealth’s dVIN protocol, Pal had been a member of the original wine club, Club dVIN, whose ~1000 early adopters helped shape the experience offered by the dVIN protocol. Given this long-standing connection, Pal and his network of RealVision ProCrypto members were granted exclusive access and accumulated points in their Cellar Challenge, an initiative that allows participants to earn points by tokenizing bottles from their home cellar.
Raoul Pal, Co-Founder and CEO of Real Vision, said: “It is an honor to be appointed to the dVIN Labs Board of Directors, giving me the opportunity to work closely with a team I have long admired as a member of their Club dVIN community. I look forward to taking on this more formal role as a Board member as an opportunity to leverage my entrepreneurial experience, passion for wine, and network in the cryptocurrency industry to help dVIN tokenize the wine asset class.”
Pal is a highly accomplished executive with a deep understanding of macroeconomics and finance as a business cycle economist, investment strategist, and economic historian, as well as being the founder and host of Raoul Pal – The Journey Man, where he speaks with leading figures in the cryptocurrency space. His extensive leadership experience, coupled with his relationships in the digital asset world and belief in bringing the $1 trillion wine asset class on-chain, make him a strategic asset to dVIN’s board of directors.
Garrett will be hosting an AMA on X (formerly Twitter) Spaces with Pal on September 16, 2024 at 9am ET focusing on wine bottle tokenization and his global wine club.
