Marina Bay, Singapore, October 17th, 2025, Chainwire
Cobalt Finance, a Singapore-based startup building institutional-grade blockchain intelligence solutions, today announced the formation of its Advisory Council for crypto research and a significant platform milestone of 1,000 experts across the digital asset ecosystem.
The newly established Advisory Council will guide Cobalt’s research methodology and strategic direction as the platform scales its expert network and AI-powered intelligence capabilities. The milestone of 1,000 experts represents a critical mass of protocol developers, senior executives, and industry specialists who provide proprietary insights to Cobalt’s institutional clients, including hedge funds, family offices, and blockchain protocols.
“Reaching 1,000 experts on our platform is a validation of the model we’ve built,” said Daniel Blay, Founder of Cobalt Finance. “These are deep industry experts, they’re protocol core contributors, senior executives, and operators with direct insight into where the industry is heading. Our new Advisory Council will help us ensure that as we scale, we maintain the caliber of intelligence that sophisticated institutions demand.”
The expert network spans major blockchain protocols and platforms including Ethereum, Bitcoin, Solana, Ethena, Hyperliquid and Coinbase, alongside institutional trading firms. Cobalt’s platform uses advanced LLM-driven analysis to synthesize insights from expert calls alongside proprietary datasets and onchain computational analysis, delivering holistic intelligence that goes beyond what’s available through conventional research channels.
The Advisory Council will comprise leading figures from institutional crypto research, protocol development, and digital asset investment. Council members provide strategic guidance on research priorities, quality standards, and emerging areas of institutional focus within the blockchain sector.
Based in Singapore, Cobalt Finance operates within the Network State ecosystem, a community of technology entrepreneurs and builders founded by Balaji Srinivasan, former CTO of Coinbase. The Network State focuses on advancing innovation at the convergence of artificial intelligence, blockchain, and biotechnology.
Prior to launching Cobalt Finance, Blay served as Vice President at Zipline, a San Francisco-based autonomous logistics and robotics company.
