Jake Gallen is a Las Vegas native, a builder, and the CEO of Emblem Vault and Migrate.fun.

He grew up in Las Vegas, played football and ran track at Chaparral High School, and graduated from UNLV in 2015. He started on the Strip as a Planet Hollywood lifeguard in 2010 and later joined the opening team at Omnia Nightclub, where he stayed until 2021.

In 2017 he and his father opened NextGen Pickers, an antique shop that ran through 2018, and he co-founded Chameleon Verify Network, a ticket verification app that ran until February 2020.

His crypto journey began on Ethereum in July 2016, after a nightclub shift. In April 2020, after the Strip shut down, he launched The Guest List. That show and The Emblem Show now come to 697 episodes, with 100K+ downloads and listeners in 75+ countries. He hosts The Emblem Show with Adam McBride and Chris Devitte, Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10 AM PT.

In 2021 he co-founded Nativ Research, which ran blockchain meetups in Las Vegas, and he became the first person to sell MoonCats at Sotheby's. A former MoonCatRescue Discord moderator, he and Adam McBride joined Emblem Vault in November 2022, and Jake came in as Product Manager. He brought Chris Devitte in late 2023, and became CEO in May 2024, when Emblem became part of Crosschain Ventures.

Today he leads Emblem Terminal, Emblem Vault, Migrate.fun, and Proof of Agent. Emblem Vault is cross-chain infrastructure, a wallet inside a transferable ERC-721, with about $125M in lifetime volume and about 30K owners as of November 2026 (EmblemScan). Migrate.fun has completed about 97 migrations for about 36K migrators, and has been audited by Halborn. Proof of Agent, live since October 2026, is a network where AI agents mine POA. He still lives in Las Vegas.

I grew up in Las Vegas, worked the Strip, and sold antiques with my dad. I found Ethereum in July 2016, and I am now CEO of Emblem Vault and Migrate.fun. I host The Emblem Show, and in 2021 I became the first person to sell MoonCats at Sotheby's. The best way to reach me is on X.
