    How It All Started

    In 2012, Olivier Cohen was already working with entrepreneurial families who were quietly experimenting with a new kind of asset: Bitcoin. He saw something most institutions didn't. While innovators were building the future, the financial system was still treating digital assets as an anomaly.

    The turning point came when one of Olivier's long-standing clients made a perfectly legitimate request:

    "I've made a significant gain in crypto. Can you help me bring it back into the banking system?"

    What followed was months of friction. Banks didn't know how to classify digital wealth, compliance teams had no framework to evaluate it, and clients were being treated as if technological curiosity were a red flag. The issue was never the client. It was the system's inability to process a new form of value.

    Olivier realised that if sophisticated investors were struggling to move their own money, the industry had a systemic gap. And that gap would only widen as digital assets became mainstream.

    This is where alt began.

    alt was created to solve the problem Olivier personally witnessed: the lack of a trusted, compliant mechanism to transform crypto-origin wealth into bankable, recognised capital.

    What started as a specialised service for a handful of early adopters has grown into a full digital asset facilitation ecosystem: KYC/AML, prime brokerage, crypto due diligence reports, execution, project fundraising support, and bank account opening. All designed to meet the highest standards of compliance.
