Crypto.com, one of the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges and trading platforms, has added a former Visa regulatory chief to its team, according to a brief post shared on LinkedIn.
Roeland Van der Stappen, who led Visa’s Regulatory Affairs team for Europe, reportedly left the company to accept a role with the crypto firm.
In his LinkedIn announcement on Monday, Van der Stappen said he is now Vice President, Policy and Engagement for EMEA (Europe, the Middle East and Africa) at Crypto.com.
“I am pleased to share that I am taking on a new role as Vice President, Policy and Engagement, EMEA at Crypto.com! I look forward to diving into the issues around #crypto and #web3 policy and sharing all the great work my colleagues are doing,” wrote he.
Van der Stappen led Visa’s Regulatory Affairs team in Europe for three and a half years and previously worked at banking giant Barclays.
Founded in 2016, Crypto.com now employs over 4,000 people. The exchange recently expanded its services into the U.S. market and serves a customer base of more than 10 million users.
