Arthur Cheong is the Founder & CEO of DeFiance Capital. He is one of the biggest legends in crypto and his story is pretty extraordinary: he went in less than 3 years from a humble Malaysian dude to more than 100x’ing his mid-5 figure portfolio.

In June 2022, the worst happened when Defiance Capital's assets got trapped into the cascade of liquidations due to the 2022 crypto lending blow up.

Arthur's story is a truly fascinating entrepreneurship story "on steroids" full of crazy highs and lows. He is now back with his new fund, ready for one of the biggest comebacks of our industry.
