Justin Wang is the CEO and Founder of Capital Layer. Born in Taiwan and raised in Canada, Justin graduated from the University of British Columbia (UBC) and started his entrepreneurial journey in 2016 when he launched a successful VPN business in Dubai, primarily targeting the Saudi market, which he exited in 2018 for $3.5 million in equity.

From 2019 to 2021, Justin served as Chief Business Officer at a Singapore-based payment startup, where he built enterprise client relationships and commercial partnerships from the ground up. The company was acquired in 2021, giving Justin a second exit and direct exposure of how payment infrastructure actually works at the enterprise level.

Since 2015, Justin has been active in the blockchain space and was one of the earliest Solana advocates in Asia. In 2020, he founded dAppio Lab, a DeFi aggregator on Solana, and later Zeus Network to make Solana the ultimate application layer on top of Bitcoin.

Capital Layer is what that experience adds up to. Cross-border settlement in Asia runs across fragmented banking systems, compliance regimes, and currencies — turning every transaction into a multi-day coordination problem. Capital Layer builds the orchestration layer that resolves it: the custody, compliance, and settlement infrastructure that lets banks and enterprises across APAC operate stablecoins at institutional scale, inside their existing financial systems.
