James Harris

James spent over a decade in market-making and trading operations at traditional brokerages before moving into cryptocurrency, where he focused on custody risk and settlement infrastructure. That background shapes how he reads an exchange — he knows where operational risk hides, how proof-of-reserves claims should be verified, and which security disclosures are genuinely meaningful rather than marketing.

For Kripzen he leads exchange safety coverage: checking licensing, custody model, proof-of-reserves and security track record before writing anything up. He writes about evaluating exchanges, fee structures, and the practical checks — like a small test withdrawal — that separate careful users from everyone else, always in a steady, no-hype tone.
