Severo De La Riva, a Class of 2026 graduate from Cal State Fullerton, has started the Titan Blockchain club to delve into cryptocurrency. The initiative stems from his prior investments in the sector and his roles in student investment groups. It partners with prominent firms to offer students hands-on exploration of blockchain and crypto finance.
Severo De La Riva entered the cryptocurrency space before enrolling at Cal State Fullerton (CSUF). As a student in the College of Business and Economics, he participated in the Student Managed Investment Fund, which allows finance students to handle actual bond and equity portfolios. He later advanced to portfolio manager at Titan Capital Management, another student-led group focused on real-world investments.
In this capacity, De La Riva founded the Titan Blockchain club. This new organization collaborates with industry leaders including Coinbase, Polymarket, and Stand With Crypto. Its primary goal is to create a dedicated environment for finance students interested in cryptocurrency and to serve as a discussion platform for the broader CSUF community exploring blockchain technologies.
The club's launch highlights the increasing integration of digital assets into academic finance programs. By connecting students with established crypto platforms, it aims to equip participants with practical knowledge in a rapidly evolving field. De La Riva's background in investment management positions the club to bridge theoretical learning with market realities at CSUF.
