Tiantian Kullander co-founded Amber Group and KeeperDAO, an on-chain liquidity underwriter. He also served on the board of Fnatic, an e-sports firm. Kullander, also known as TT, assisted in the foundation of Amber in 2017 and built it into a critical crypto market maker with a recent fundraising valuation of over $3 billion.
Like several of the Amber co-founders, he had prior trading experience, having worked on the floor at Goldman Sachs. He put his heart and energy into the company at every stage of its development. “He set an exceptional example with his intelligence, kindness, humility, hard work, and invention,” Amber, located in Singapore, said in a statement. He is survived by his wife and son, according to the obituary.
The firm added in their statement: ‘TT was a devoted husband, a loving father and a fierce friend. His passing is a tragedy and our thoughts and prayers are with his family.
Tiantian Kullander, who co-founded the Hong Kong-digital asset company Amber Group, passed away in his sleep, a spokesman for his firm said.
The father-of-one, named in the Forbes prestigious 30-under-30 list in 2019, died ‘unexpectedly’ on November 23. No further details were provided surrounding the cause of death.
The Amber Group described Kullander – fondly known as ‘TT’ by friends and colleagues – as ‘instrumental to the founding of Amber and a pillar of our success’.

‘TT was a respected thought leader and widely recognised 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 firm added.

Kullander, a former Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs trader, founded the Amber Group in 2017. The company was valued at $3billion (£2.4billion) in recent months.
Kullander’s death comes just weeks after another young cryptocurrency millionaire died.
Kullander’s death comes just weeks after another young cryptocurrency millionaire died. Nikolai Mushegian, 29, (pictured) drowned on a Puerto Rico beach after tweeting that he feared the CIA and Mossad were going to murder him
Mushegian had a history of mental health problems and his family do not believe there was any foul play.
In a tweet hours before he died, he said: ‘CIA and Mossad and pedo elite are running some kind of sex trafficking entrapment blackmail ring out of Puerto Rico and Caribbean islands.
‘They are going to frame me with a laptop planted by my ex [girlfriend] who was a spy. They will torture me to death.’
However, some in the cryptocurrency community in Puerto Rico are suspicious of the timing of his death.
He was discovered by a surfer in the water at Ashford Beach on October 29, fully clothed and carrying his wallet.
