Dadvan Ismat Yousuf Yousuf commonly known as Dadvan Yousuf (born April 9, 2000) is a Iraqi businessman of Kurdish origins who lives in Switzerland.

Early life and education

Yousuf was born in Zakho, Iraqi Kurdistan on April 9, 2000. His father was part of the Peshmerga and fled the country to Switzerland before Yousuf was born. Three years later his mother left the country as well, together with her three sons. They arrived in Neuenburg, Switzerland, in 2003 where his father had relocated. In 2004, the family was granted refugee and moved to Ipsach. Yousuf has five younger siblings which were born in Switzerland.

In 2017, he started an apprenticeship at the Eidgenössische Hochschulinstitut für Berufsbildung in Zollikofen. Around the same time, Yousuf claims to have developed a software for automated trades in cryptocurrencies, based on an algorithm analysing data and predicting fluctuations in the future.

Career

Yousuf's career started from an early age. When he first heard about Bitcoin with 11 years old, Yousuf sold some of his toys in his neighborhood in Ipsach, Bern and used the money to invest in Bitcoin. He bought 10 Bitcoins for €15 each and has been trading in Bitcoin ever since. In 2012 he bought 1000 Bitcoins for €11,126 each. In 2016, he invested in Ethereum for the first time, buying 16 000 units for €134 000.

According to Yousuf, the algorithm evaluates data stemming from technical analysis, social media, macroeconomics and public statements about cryptocurrencies. He founded the Dohrnii Foundation in Zug, which oversees the development of his cryptocurrency software. He also introduced his own cryptocurrency Dohrnii (DHN) in March 2021.

In late 2021, Yousuf took over part of the Swiss startup Crowdlitoken and became their CEO subject to FMA. The startup was founded to develop solutions to allow people to invest in real estate through digital shares in the form of tokens.At the end of 2022, Yousuf published his own autobiography.

Controversy

In February 2022, several critical press articles were published about Dadvan Yousuf and his ventures. For example, some information in his resume was embellished, which Yousuf again partly contradicts. Because of his crypto ventures, Yousuf was from May 2022 - June 2023 in contact with the Swiss regulator FINMA. According to the company's own statements, the guidelines for the Initial coin offering were adhered to, but this cannot be proven; according to a crypto expert of the Swiss newspaper Blick, this may be possible under certain circumstances (as of March 2022).

Personal life

Yousuf has his tax domicile in Bern.

He was being entered in the Swiss commercial registry as a citizen of Ipsach (and therefore Swiss citizen) when he founded his foundation. However, this has in the meantime been corrected. Yousuf is a citizen of the Republic of Iraq and is believed to hold a Swiss residency permit type B or C.
