Crypto startups, Web3 security, and entrepreneurship by Brandon Arvanaghi

Brandon Arvanaghi is founder and CEO of Meow, a digital treasury management firm that integrates stablecoin yield products and government-backed cash equivalents for startups. Since its inception in 2021, Meow has scaled to over 350 corporate clients and more than USD 420 million in managed assets, offering seamless access to on-chain and traditional liquidity through compliant interfaces. Arvanaghi previously served as a security engineer at Gemini, where his work contributed to regulatory-grade custody solutions.

Arvanaghi frequently advises venture-backed CFOs on stablecoin integration, regulatory risk, and counterparty exposure. Meow's infrastructure supports instant T-bill execution, automated liquidity rebalancing, and real-time treasury dashboards. In the wake of the 2023 regional banking crisis, the platform saw a 5x increase in corporate stablecoin onboarding. Arvanaghi has testified before U.S. Senate committees on crypto infrastructure and has spoken at Mainnet, MIT Fintech, and Permissionless. He publishes weekly on crypto-finance convergence and has been featured in The Information, Bloomberg, and CNBC.
