The story
Builders who were right before the market.
Stobox was founded in 2018 by Gene Deyev, Ross Shemeliak and Borys Pikalov, on a single conviction: the technology to tokenize real-world assets already existed. The legal, compliance and distribution infrastructure to do it correctly did not. Borys stepped back from operations in 2025 and remains a shareholder.
Eight years later that thesis reads as obvious. In 2018 it did not. We built through the bear market, through FTX, through the years when the rest of the industry was still deciding whether any of this mattered. We shipped the world's first end-to-end STO platform in 2019 and the first DEX for security tokens in 2020.
The technology is the easy part. Making a business ready is the hard part. That is the lesson eight years and 100+ clients taught us, and it is what we built the company around.
Today Stobox runs a complete engagement across legal framing, compliance architecture, financial structuring, technology, custody, distribution and post-issuance governance, through an AI-native product stack and a network of licensed partners. One continuous thesis, for eight years.
