Bio
Viktor Radchenko is the founder and former CEO of Trust Wallet — one of the world's most widely used self-custodial cryptocurrency wallets. He founded Trust Wallet in 2017, led its acquisition by Binance in July 2018, and continued as CEO until stepping down in March 2022. Eowyn Chen succeeded Radchenko as CEO. Do not describe Radchenko as current Trust Wallet CEO. His post-2022 professional activities are not confirmed from reliable primary sources as of August 2026; if no current operating role is confirmed, use the evergreen positioning 'Founder & Former CEO of Trust Wallet'.
Important distinctions: Trust Wallet is a non-custodial wallet — users retain control of their private keys and the wallet does not hold user funds. Trust Wallet is owned by Binance but operates as a distinct product with its own team and brand. Do not conflate Trust Wallet with Binance or imply they are the same legal entity.
Background & Education
Radchenko is Ukrainian. His specific educational background — university, degree and dates — is not independently confirmed from primary academic sources for this profile. Unverified education details are omitted.
Pre-Trust Wallet Career

Founding Trust Wallet (2017)
Radchenko founded Trust Wallet in 2017, initially as an Ethereum and ERC-20/ERC-223 token wallet. The app was designed as a clean, simple, secure mobile self-custody wallet for Ethereum assets. As the multi-chain ecosystem grew, Trust Wallet expanded to support dozens of blockchains. There are no confirmed additional formal co-founders from primary Trust Wallet corporate records for this profile; if formal co-founders existed and are documented, they should be credited.
Binance Acquisition (July 2018)
In July 2018, Binance announced the acquisition of Trust Wallet — its first publicly announced acquisition. Radchenko continued leading the product as CEO under Binance ownership through March 2022.
Trust Wallet in 2026
As of 2026, Trust Wallet is led by Eowyn Chen as CEO (verify current leadership from trustwallet.com). The wallet supports hundreds of blockchains and millions of assets. Trust Wallet Core, its open-source library, is maintained by the Trust Wallet team and community contributors. Trust Wallet Token (TWT) is a BEP-20 utility token used for in-app discounts and governance participation; its current utility and governance structure should be verified from official Trust Wallet documentation. Any 2026 AI-agent or trading feature expansions are Trust Wallet company developments, not attributable to Radchenko unless he is confirmed as actively involved.
