Viktor Pershikov

I have been working in financial markets for more than 18 years. I began my career in the foreign exchange market as an asset manager and, over time, developed expertise in market analysis, investment advisory, financial analysis, and risk management.

For the past 8 years, my professional work has been focused on the crypto industry and digital assets. During this time, I have worked with investment and financial companies, participated in the creation and development of crypto and investment structures across various jurisdictions, and advised businesses on digital asset investments, crypto project analysis, market strategies, and operational resilience.

Today, my core specialization lies at the intersection of crypto markets, compliance, sanctions risks, and digital asset regulation. I am a member of ACAMS and hold the CCAS certification, which confirms my expertise in crypto compliance, AML/CTF, financial crime prevention, and the risks related to the use of digital assets in illicit activities. I am also pursuing the CGSS certification, further strengthening my specialization in sanctions risk.

18+ years of experience in trading, asset management, technical analysis, investment strategies, and financial analytics. Author of the "Comprehensive Fibonacci Analysis" methodology and books on modern methods of financial analysis in Russian and English.

Over 8 years of experience in the crypto industry, covering crypto market analysis, investment advisory, digital asset valuation, tokenomics, market cycles, and strategic advisory for financial institutions, including investment funds based in Hong Kong and the United States.

Head of Compliance with hands-on expertise in AML, KYC/KYB, sanctions risk, crypto compliance, VASP/CASP regulation, the Travel Rule, and the design and development of compliance functions for crypto and fintech companies.

My talks and lectures cover financial markets, digital assets, crypto markets, regulation, compliance, sanctions risk, and the transformation of global financial infrastructure.
Since 2011, I have been a member of TSAA-SF, a San Francisco-based financial analysts’ community, and IFTA — the International Federation of Technical Analysts.

Throughout my professional career, I have delivered talks at conferences, lectures, and industry events in Russia, Japan, South Africa, Switzerland, China, Malaysia, and other countries. My presentations bring together financial analysis, crypto markets, regulation, and hands-on compliance experience to explain the transformation of the digital asset market and the role played by the state, capital, banks, and technology.
