Konstantin Shulga is a fintech executive with more than 17 years of experience across capital markets and digital asset infrastructure. Prior to co‑founding Finery Markets, he held various roles in electronic trading, including international development of exchange infrastructure and electronic brokerage businesses spanning equities, fixed income, and FX. In 2017, after being captivated by the Bitcoin whitepaper, he identified the lack of institutional‑grade trading infrastructure in crypto as a key opportunity.
Together with his co‑founder Ilia Drozdov, he launched Finery Markets to provide a non‑custodial, multi‑venue ECN that connects regulated liquidity providers with crypto‑native and traditional financial institutions. Under his leadership, the platform has facilitated over $20 billion in trading volume, serves 130+ B2B clients in 35+ countries, and was named among CNBC’s top fintech companies globally in 2025.
Shulga is also a board advisor at Tangem, a Swiss crypto hardware wallet maker.
