Smerkis co-founded trading app Blum in December 2023 but the company said Saturday on X he had stepped down from his role as chief marketing officer and is no longer involved in the project. He has also been the managing partner of four other ventures including Tokenbox.io and The Token Fund according to LinkedIn.

Smerkis于2023年12月与他人共同创立了Trading App Blum，但该公司周六在X上表示，他已经辞去了首席营销官的职务，不再参与该项目。根据LinkedIn的说法，他还曾是其他四个企业的执行合伙人，包括Tokenbox.io和Token Fund。

Prior to starting Blum, Smerkis worked for the Binance crypto exchange from 2022 for just under two years. In that time he was the head of Russia and later the head of its Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) business, according to LinkedIn. The CIS is a group of 11 nations which coordinate on key decisions like trade and lawmaking; Russia is among those nations.
