bottles from their home cellar.

“It's an honor to be appointed as a board member at dVIN Labs,
giving me the chance to work closely with a team I have long
admired as a longtime member of their Club dVIN community. I look
forward to taking on this more formal role as a board member as an
opportunity to leverage my business experience, passion for wine,
and network in the crypto industry to help dVIN tokenize the wine
asset class.”
Pal is a highly accomplished executive
with a deep understanding of macroeconomics & finance as a
business cycle economist, investment strategist, and economic
historian in addition to being the founder and host of Raoul Pal - The Journey Man where he speaks
with leading figures in the cryptocurrency space. His extensive
leadership experience, coupled with his relationships in the world
of digital assets and his belief in bringing the $1T wine asset
class on-chain, makes him a strategic asset to the dVIN board.
