His pivotal role in bringing cryptocurrencies into the regulated financial arenas underscores his vision for the future of the financial sector.
Mate Brezovszki explains the current financial zeitgeist as follows: “We live in an era of monetary metamorphosis. The number of issuers of money-like assets is constantly evolving and growing. As part of this evolution, a common priority is emerging: the secure and transparent management of customer portfolios. Where this transparency and security does not exist, this issue must be addressed.”
