Blockchain has the potential to create millions of new jobs. It changed the future of award-winning Web3 Strategist and Blockchain Leader Muhammad Afzal Subhani and he believes it has the potential to change the future of countless others. Muhammad hopes to pass his skills and share his expertise with others and impact the U.S. at large.
Muhammad believes the U.S. must lead the global Web3 movement to unlock revolutionary economic and technological growth.
Blockchain technology is growing at a rapid pace, with over 300 million users worldwide and more than 85 million utilizing blockchain wallets. The market is projected to reach $32.69 billion, with global spending on blockchain solutions expected to hit $19 billion.
“By 2017 to 2018, blockchain and Bitcoin were making headlines globally, and I knew this was the future,” says Muhammed, explaining his decision to join a blockchain-focused company. Today, Muhammad is the founder of BlocksGenie Technologies, a Web3 development company. His next big project is ChrysusDAO, a decentralized autonomous organization with a native token pegged to the price of gold, which is already gaining popularity within the crypto community. Muhammad serves as the General Manager of ChrysusDAO, where he is leading its strategic direction, including its current presale—which is actively trending on the platform and drawing strong interest from early adopters. He also holds the role of Chief Business Officer at Thovt, a platform focused on asset tokenization to reshape modern investment models. Previously, he served as a Strategic Advisor for Arkania Protocol, where he helped guide the project through its early-stage fundraising and business strategy development
His experiences in his chosen profession have not only expanded his network, but also exposed him to global Web3 leaders, and fueled his passion for blockchain innovation.
A blockchain thought leader of the future
Muhammed has a vision of impacting the industry through his expertise, and also uplifting others, to be of similar impact; believing blockchain can provide unlimited job opportunities.
He has experienced firsthand how blockchain can change lives. He grew up in Pakistan, in a single-parent home, and where tough economic conditions meant that jobs were scarce. He said he made a decision at a young age that he would better his circumstances and income, and that blockchain provided the means for this to happen.
“My inspiration to enter the Web3 and blockchain industry came from a combination of personal ambition, real-world financial challenges, and the revolutionary potential of decentralization,” he says.
Through Web3, innovation, and entrepreneurship, he has transformed challenges into opportunities, and he continues to push boundaries in the crypto and blockchain industry.
Overcoming the odds to achieve measurable results
Muhammed says his ascent into success has not been without challenges. Coming from a country with few global tech networking opportunities, he had no immediate mentors or connections in the blockchain space. Entering the Web3 industry required him to prove himself without traditional backing.
He said that to build credibility, he had to start with small freelance gigs and grow into advisory roles. He also studied blockchain and business development intensively, making himself an expert despite no prior background. Furthermore, he networked globally through industry events, eventually landing speaking engagements at major Web3 summits and getting featured in top finance and crypto media outlets.
Securing funding for impactful blockchain projects has also had its fair share of challenges, however, with determination he has been successful in initiating and launching projects. He helped Arkania Protocol secure $300K in early funding, proving his ability to structure Web3 fundraising strategies.
He also guided GAIA Everworld to raise $3.7M from Polygon and multiple VCs and launchpads.
Furthermore, he led the development of Chrysus, a gold-pegged DAO; and co-lead Thovt.io, a real-world asset tokenization platform.
A bright future for blockchain
Muhammed believes that the increasing demand for crypto and blockchain and the associated financial impact of these, make jobs centred around digital technology and innovations the bread-and-butter professions of future economies.
He maintains that there is a reason for blockchain’s fame. It is able to eliminate barriers, create transparency, and provide borderless financial freedom. “These are all things I wished had existed when I was struggling to find economic opportunities,” he says.
“Blockchain, crypto regulations, and Web3 trends evolve rapidly. What works today may be outdated in months. Staying ahead in the industry requires continuous learning and adaptability,” he continues.
He is determined to educate communities in the U.S. about the potential of this explosive technology and the promise it holds for jobs, and exponential economic growth. “The overwhelming evidence points to blockchain as being pivotal to a strong future economy,” he advocates.
