Tiantian Kullander, who co-founded the cryptocurrency company Amber Group, died in his sleep at the age of 30.
A spokesperson for the company confirmed his sudden death.
Named in the Forbes prestigious 30-under-30 list in 2019, Tiantian reportedly died ‘unexpectedly’ on November 23. He was described as ‘instrumental to the founding of Amber and a pillar of our success.’
In a statement, the company said: “He put his heart and soul into the company, in every stage of its growth.
“He led by example with his intellect, generosity, humility, diligence and creativity.
“TT was a respected thought leader and widely recognized as a pioneer for the industry. His depth of knowledge, his willingness to collaborate and his desire to always help others benefited countless start-ups and individuals.”
The Singapore-based company, which was founded in 2017, says it its website that it has a “presence in Athens, Geneva, Dubai, Hong Kong, Istanbul, London, Mexico City, Taipei, Tokyo, Vancouver, and Zurich.”
Taking to Twitter, Annabelle Huang, a managing partner at Amber Group, wrote: “Lost a dear friend who has changed my life, among many others, in ways he didn’t realize.”
This comes only weeks after another young cryptocurrency millionaire passed away.
29-year-old Nikolai Mushegian died on a beach in Puerto Rico after writing on Twitter that he feared the Mossad and CIA were after him.
“They are going to frame me with a laptop planted by my ex [girlfriend] who was a spy. They will torture me to death,” he wrote.
His body was found by a surfer at Ashford Beach on October 29.
Some people in the cryptocurrency community are still suspicious of the timing of his death.
