Carmen Tan, Managing Director, MENA, GCEX said:

"I first came to know GCEX while working at MultiBank, a long-standing GCEX client, and this gave me real insight into the strength and credibility of both the team and the offering. This is an excellent time to be joining GCEX - institutions are now recognising crypto as a legitimate asset class, and market infrastructure and custody standards have matured significantly. GCEX's regulated, risk-averse approach strongly aligns with my own values. My focus will be on governance and growth, working closely with Lars to build a dynamic, scalable team and position GCEX as a market leading digital asset prime broker in the region."
