Alex Fine is the founder and CEO of Fun (fun.xyz), a crypto-fiat payments company that builds the deposit and withdrawal rails behind apps like Polymarket, Lighter, and Aave. Fun processes over $18 billion in annual payment volume and raised a $72 million Series A in early 2026 led by Multicoin Capital and SignalFire. A Stanford math and computer-science dropout who shipped his first acquired app at 16, Fine wants Fun to be 'the front door' for a tokenized economy where anyone can buy anything with anything.
