His extensive background in building strategic partnerships and driving revenue growth positions him perfectly to lead Agant’s commercial operations during this crucial phase of market expansion and brand establishment.

“It was clear when I shared my vision for Agant, Chris would add significant strength to the team given his wealth of experience in payments and digital assets. He immediately understood our approach and is well connected within the industry. We’re having great conversations on distribution and I look forward to working with him to bring these to life.” - Andrew MacKenzie, Agant Founder & CEO.

Prior to joining Agant, Chris held senior leadership roles at Bybit and Wincent, a leading crypto investment fund.

“I’m thrilled to have joined Agant and excited to be part of the team building a UK-domiciled, UK-regulated GBP stablecoin. I’ve long believed that moving money over the internet is one of the biggest transformations to happen in the world of finance. The infrastructure, technology and regulation have all evolved, and continue to evolve, to enable this transformation to take place. The original vision for Bitcoin was as a digital P2P payments system but stablecoins have become the way for this original vision for digital money to move. Add to that smart contracts, that allow us to create programmable money, we can imagine a world where we can build all sorts of new applications on that programmable money. I’m looking forward to helping Agant build the partnerships to grow the usage of GBP stablecoins in the UK and beyond.” - Chris Aruliah , Agant CCO (Commercial).

Chris’s appointment underscores Agant’s dedication to building strong commercial foundations and strategic market positioning, reinforcing our mission to deliver a frictionless and secure pound sterling stablecoin.

Please join us in warmly welcoming Chris to the Agant team!
