G-Knot Appoints Fintech, Crypto Veteran Wes Kaplan as CEO to Launch the First Finger Vein Biometric Wallet

G-Knot, a biometrics technology pioneer, has named Wes Kaplan as its new CEO to lead the commercialization of its finger vein crypto wallet. Kaplan brings extensive expertise in fintech and digital assets, positioning the company to address critical security vulnerabilities in the crypto space.

The wallet leverages proprietary finger vein technology licensed from Seoul-based eTunnel Inc., eliminating reliance on private keys and recovery phrases. With over $1.4 billion lost to crypto hacks in 2025 alone, G-Knot's solution could redefine self-custody security standards.

This launch marks the first commercial application of G-Knot's biometric identification platform, with enterprise and consumer products planned. The technology represents over a decade of R&D in unforgeable biometric authentication.
