Mulla added, “This is an exciting career move for me. Lars is a visionary and has built GCEX’s crypto offering around principles that I strongly believe in: STP access to Tier 1 liquidity, no conflict of interest with clients, and a commitment to building long-term mutually beneficial client relationships. He has also attracted an impressive and highly experienced team to build on this vision, including some of my former colleagues from CFH, whom I am looking forward to working with again.
“The opportunities for growth at GCEX are vast. GCEX is at the forefront of the industry with its strong regulatory foundations, deep capital markets expertise, and focus on blockchain technology at a time when digital assets and tokenised real-world assets are becoming increasingly important in global financial markets. The firm has already established itself as a pioneer in the region, including becoming one of the first firms to receive a VASP Operating Licence from VARA to provide Virtual Asset Broker-Dealer services, and the first to gain approval to operate with a client money account. GCEX is an exciting company to be a part of, and I am looking forward to playing a major role in the firm’s next phase of growth.”
