Current Position
Annabelle Huang is co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Altius Labs, a blockchain-infrastructure business. The 2026 CUHK Conference on Financial Technology identifies her in this role, while her professional profile lists Altius Labs and Singapore. Singapore is used as her stated professional location; it is not a claim about her nationality or the company’s legal domicile.
Background & Biography
Huang previously served as Managing Partner at Amber Group, where her responsibilities included institutional offerings and digital-asset liquidity services. Before that, she led Asia activities for AirSwap and worked in foreign-exchange structuring at Deutsche Bank and Nomura in New York. Her conference biography describes a background connecting traditional financial markets with decentralized trading and digital-asset businesses.
Notable Contributions
Huang co-founded Altius Labs to address infrastructure constraints faced by blockchain teams. The company describes its current offering as customized chain infrastructure for high-frequency transactions and on-chain markets. Its stated focus is on reducing infrastructure complexity so application teams and institutions can develop their own blockchain services. These are the company’s product objectives, not independently verified performance benchmarks. Her earlier institutional and trading experience provides context for this move into infrastructure development.
Why Katharos.ai Is Following Them
Katharos.ai follows Huang because the performance and design of blockchain infrastructure affect what applications can operate reliably at scale. Her transition from financial markets and digital-asset services to infrastructure offers a perspective on the relationship between institutional requirements and technical development. Coverage will separate the company’s intended capabilities from documented deployments and measured results.
Areas to Follow
Areas to follow include Altius’s technical documentation, developer adoption, chain deployments and announced institutional partnerships. Throughput, execution design and operational reliability should be evaluated with clear assumptions and reproducible evidence. Katharos.ai will also monitor how infrastructure choices affect application development without treating speed or scale claims as guarantees of security or commercial success.
Reporting Scope
Coverage focuses on attributable professional statements, company documentation and named institutional sources. Earlier Amber Group and AirSwap roles are historical, not current affiliations. This profile is not an endorsement or investment recommendation; source attribution does not provide an independent authenticity or security guarantee. Roles and available source materials were checked on 20 October 2026.
