Independent fintech operator, researcher, and writer

Hi, I’m Lavneet Bansal.

I work with Web3 and fintech teams on operational, strategic, and regulatory challenges—from launching products to navigating licensing and market expansion.

My background spans financial forensics, digital-asset exchanges, product execution, and cross-functional operations.

BACKGROUND

A career across investigations, digital assets, and operations.

Before crypto, I worked in audit and financial forensics—tracing discrepancies, following paper trails, and learning how systems break. That instinct to investigate systems, rather than only statements, eventually pulled me into digital assets.

Since 2019, I have worked full-time in Web3. My experience has included scaling exchanges, launching financial products, supporting token structures, and contributing to licensing efforts across multiple jurisdictions.

I am a Chartered Accountant, Certified Fraud Examiner, and Certified Information Systems Auditor. More than the credentials, however, I care about solving real problems quietly, practically, and across functions.

Most of my work happens behind the scenes. This website is where I occasionally write things down—to think more clearly, contribute more usefully, and leave a paper trail for anyone asking better questions.
