Introduction to Myself, Nikhilesh De

Hello, I’m Nikhilesh De, and I am passionate about exploring the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. As the managing editor for global policy and regulation at CoinDesk, I have dedicated my career to analyzing the complexities of regulatory developments and understanding how lawmakers and institutions shape this transformative industry.

When I’m not busy dissecting the latest digital asset policies, you’ll likely find me indulging in two of my favorite hobbies: admiring the engineering marvels of Amtrak or building intricate LEGO train models. These creative and technical pastimes give me a refreshing perspective outside the fast-paced world of cryptocurrencies.

My journey into the world of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology began with a deep curiosity about how these innovations could revolutionize traditional systems. Born with a passion for understanding the interplay between policy, technology, and society, I decided to focus my efforts on exploring the digital asset space.

As I ventured further into this industry, I quickly realized the importance of bridging the gap between technical complexities and public understanding. This realization drove me to pursue a career in journalism, where I could make complex ideas accessible to everyone while maintaining objectivity and integrity.

I value the power of knowledge and its ability to empower individuals to make informed decisions. Whether through my work at CoinDesk, my contributions to ONUS, or my passion for simplifying technical concepts, I strive to bridge gaps and inspire trust in the cryptocurrency ecosystem.

My vision is to continue fostering a balance between innovation and regulation, ensuring that technological advancements align with ethical practices and serve the greater good.

The cryptocurrency and blockchain industry is still in its early stages, and I’m excited about the opportunities that lie ahead. As new technologies emerge and regulations evolve, I look forward to continuing my work at the intersection of policy and innovation.

My goals include expanding my expertise, contributing to the global conversation on digital finance, and helping platforms like ONUS reach new heights. I am committed to playing a role in shaping a future where blockchain technology and digital assets benefit individuals, businesses, and societies worldwide.
