Oliver Gale

In 2013 Oliver co-founded Bitt, formerly CaribCoin, the Caribbean’s first blockchain company, and ran it as chief financial officer, then president, then executive director. Bitt built the whole regulated stack rather than a piece of it: a digital asset exchange, a mobile money network, wallets, prepaid programs, stablecoin rails, and the anti-money-laundering backend underneath them all.

The Barbadian Digital Dollar was built for citizens who could not get basic banking. It was the Caribbean’s first digital currency system, and one of the first anywhere. It was also proof: it earned Bitt a working agreement with the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank to build the first blockchain-issued legal tender instrument, DXCD, which launched in 2021 as DCash across eight sovereign states. The Central Bank of Nigeria engagement behind eNaira followed, the first in Africa.

He raised $1.5m in seed, a $16m Series A led by Overstock and an $8m Series B led by Medici Ventures. Overstock’s chief executive called Bitt one of the leading businesses in the world.

Basetwo is a long-focused multi-strategy fund focused on protocol infrastructure, supplemented by venture, systematic liquid-token and market-neutral strategies. Oliver founded it and chairs it. It has traded two complete crypto cycles, and today runs inside a regulated Cayman structure with institutional custody, third-party administration and audit. He recruited the legal, quantitative and trading teams and deployed the automated execution stack behind its arbitrage strategies.

Oliver co-founded Panther Protocol in 2020 and led it as chief executive, raising approximately $32m. The argument was that privacy and compliance are not opposites: a Multi-Asset Shielded Pool paired confidential transactions with selective disclosure, so a regulated counterparty could see what it is obliged to see and nothing more. It shipped privacy-preserving on-chain dark pools and zero-knowledge compliance primitives. He open-sourced the codebase, launched DAO governance, and handed the project to the Panther Protocol Foundation in Geneva.

Elemental targeted consumer credit on the same rails: stablecoin payroll drawn on demand, and a marketplace that originated the loans behind it, piloted with under-banked users in Barbados. Its intellectual property was sold for shares in a licensed US stablecoin payments company.

In 2025 Oliver co-founded Aexodus with two other general partners, backing robotics, embodied AI and orbital infrastructure. The thesis is that robotics has crossed from research into revenue and the winners will be decided by deployment rather than by demos.

Aexodus is a long-horizon vehicle, exercising thought leadership alongside capital toward the next wave of human experience and consciousness. He works it as a former operator rather than an allocator, drawing on everything built before it to help transformative founders actualise what they set out to make.
