Who Is Tony Evans?
Tony Evans left the UK, landed in Asia in 2006, and never looked back. While most of his peers were climbing ladders at banks, Tony was watching the future being built in real time. He spent years advising executives at institutions like UBS, BNP, Deutsche Bank, and JP Morgan before going all-in on blockchain and digital assets in 2015, well before the mainstream caught on. That kind of early conviction, and the discipline to act on it, is what defines him.
Today Tony is the CEO of RATE Group, a global digital asset advisory firm with over $200 million in assets and operations across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. He co-founded Fintech Global Consultants, advising more than 6,400 clients in 82 countries with over $1.1 billion under advisory. He served as Managing Director for Asia and the Middle East at Blockchain Industries, one of the first publicly traded crypto companies in the world. He is also co-founder of CETI AI, a decentralized AI infrastructure firm, and co-author of Simple Guide To NFT: For Beginners, Artists and Investors. Tony doesn't do hype. He does results.
His reputation in the digital asset world is built on one thing: being the person people call when everything else goes wrong. RATE Group runs an industry-first turnaround service for failed blockchain, crypto, and Web3 projects. Tony's approach is grounded in brutal honesty. As he puts it: "If you want a guarantee, buy a toaster." When Doug sat down with Tony on Monster Mindset, the conversation wasn't about getting rich quick. It was about getting it right.
