Manny has served on the TON Foundation Board since its inception in Switzerland in 2023 and is the founder of Kingsway Capital, an investment firm with several billion dollars of assets under management for US investors. His firm, Kingsway Capital, is deeply connected to the crypto ecosystem, supporting over 50 blockchain leaders, including Animoca Brands and Blockchain.com. Together with Steve Yun, who will continue to guide the Foundation as a Board member, Manny will drive TON’s mission forward, unlocking new opportunities in the dynamic US market.
