Lex Sokolin is a fintech futurist, entrepreneur, and economist currently serving as Head Economist for decentralized protocols at ConsenSys, a leading blockchain technology firm. His work focuses on the convergence of traditional financial services with decentralized finance (DeFi), tokenization, and web3 innovation. 

Sokolin publishes ‘The Fintech Blueprint,’ a widely read newsletter that dissects trends in finance, crypto, and economics with a macro and philosophical lens. His writing, teaching, and consulting work have earned him recognition as one of the most intellectually provocative voices in fintech. 

Previously, Sokolin led fintech strategy at Autonomous Research and held executive roles at NestEgg Wealth and AdvisorEngine. He combines a deep understanding of institutional finance with a pioneering approach to decentralized technology and token economics. 

In 2025, Sokolin has become an increasingly influential voice in shaping how financial institutions approach programmable money, AI agents, and blockchain-based governance. His work guides not only entrepreneurs and developers, but also regulators and incumbent firms trying to make sense of an increasingly tokenized world.
