FNG Exclusive… FNG has learned that longtime FX and CFDs industry senior executive Stavros Anastasiou has become a Non Executive Director at UK neobank Revolut’s EU licensed entity, Revolut Digital Assets Europe.
Revolut Digital Assets Europe Ltd, formerly known as RT Digital Securities Cyprus Ltd, is registered with the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) as a licensed Crypto Asset Service Provider (CASP). Revolut has been migrating its Crypto customers who live in the EEA from Revolut Ltd to Revolut Digital Assets Europe Ltd, to comply with EU MiCA regulations, after recently finalizing its MiCA license with CySEC – and as the lines between neobanks, CFDs brokers, and Crypto exchanges become increasingly blurred.
We had reported exclusively back in August that Stavros, who left his position as CEO of Retail FX and CFDs broker Markets.com earlier this year, had been serving as a Board Advisor at Revolut, as the company has been branching out of its traditional neobank services provider role into areas such as Crypto trading. Revolut also recently hired Binance executive Reem Khayat, to head Crypto product marketing.
Stavros Anastasiou had been with the Markets.com / Safecap / Finalto group since 2016, joining initially as Chief Compliance Officer of Safecap / Markets.com, before being named Group CCO of parent company Finalto (formerly TradeTech Group) in 2018. He was promoted to CEO of Markets.com in 2023 after the group was acquired by Hong Kong based Gopher Investments. Prior to joining Safecap / Markets.com in 2016, Stavros was Chief Compliance Officer at FxPro, working at FxPro from 2011-2016.
