Evgeny Skigin is an entrepreneur, investor based in Switzerland. As an industry commentator, his work sits at the intersection of two emerging sectors with a shared logic: the decentralization of things the world depends on. Over the past decade, he has applied that thesis to cryptocurrency infrastructure and industrial hemp — two industries that, in his view, are both fundamentally about redistributing control over essential resources from concentrated intermediaries to more open, resilient networks. Skigin founded Bitclear, a blockchain infrastructure venture originally established in Malta before being incorporated in Liechtenstein — one of the first jurisdictions in the world to pass comprehensive blockchain-specific legislation through its Token and Trusted Technology Service Provider Act (TVTG), which came into force in 2020. Building within that framework gave him early exposure to the foundational policy question that still defines the industry: how do you build compliant infrastructure without surrendering the properties that make decentralized systems valuable? That question has made him a consistent voice on EU crypto regulation, and particularly on MiCA, the Markets in Crypto-Assets regulation that came into force in 2024 and reshaped the compliance landscape for European blockchain companies. He closely follows parallel developments in US crypto legislation, which he views as the second pillar of the global regulatory framework taking shape. In parallel, Skigin co-founded DunAgro Hemp Group in the Netherlands, bringing the same decentralization logic to agriculture. Industrial hemp, in his view, has been an underutilized crop not because of any deficiency in the plant itself, but because decades of prohibition created supply chain fragmentation that still hasn't fully healed. He has been particularly interested in hemp as a construction material — hempcrete's carbon sequestration properties, thermal performance, and structural versatility make it a compelling alternative to conventional building materials, and he has backed that conviction with action: in 2020, he was involved in the development of one of Australia's first hempcrete residential properties on the Sunshine Coast, a project that demonstrated the material's viability in real-world construction. Skigin is based in Engelberg, Switzerland.
