This will put us in a very strong position to grow and expand our markets as we continue to see our regulatory compliant stablecoins become widely adopted. Arjen’s decision to come and join our team is further testimony to the market leadership position that Quantoz is carving out.”

Prior to Binance Mr Van Klaarbergen worked at banking platform IBANXS and for one of the Netherlands’ top law firms, Nauta Dutilh, where he advised extensively on financial regulatory and corporate governance matters. He has in-depth knowledge and experience of anti-money laundering, anti-corruption and fraud. Mr Van Klaarbergen is highly skilled at creating and expanding relationships with internal and external stakeholders including regulators and is a respected thought leader in the financial regulatory arena.

Arjen Van Klaarbergen, General Counsel of Quantoz Payments, said:

“I am very excited to join Quantoz at such a pivotal time for the digital asset industry and more specifically for stablecoins. The speed with which they are growing in conjunction with the broader stablecoin market is impressive and I look forward to guiding them through the fast-changing regulatory regime in the years ahead.”
