Istanbul Blockchain Week, was the brainchild of EAK Digital Founder & CEO Erhan Korhaliller, in order to drive awareness and investment into the vibrant Turkish Blockchain Industry. The event has attracted speakers from the Turkish Government, alongside the leaders of business & finance in Turkey.

TrustSwap, which was founded by Kirkeidis, who is also the founder of the crypto social platform Uptrennd, allows users to transfer payments to one another without the need for a middleman or intermediary to help complete the transaction.
Erhan Korhaliller, CEO and founder of EAK Digital, said TrustSwap would benefit from EAK’s excellent network of Japanese and Asian connections, and that EAK Digital would be working to ensure the business makes a big impact in Japan.
“We’re very excited to be working with Jeff and the TrustSwap team,” he said.
“Decentralized finance has grown substantially in 2020 as more and more people look to manage their own finances rather than leaving their money in poorly-performing traditional bank accounts. We’re delighted to be working with such a visionary business.”
Jeff Kirkeidis, CEO of TrustSwap, said he was looking forward to working with EAK Digital.
“I’m personally really excited to be partnering with EAK digital as I know Erhan is one of the best of the best. Full faith in him and his team. Looking forward to the synergy and breaking TrustSwap into a new market!”
