Revolutionizing the EU Payment Gateway With Cryptocurrency

Access to banking services for crypto companies has always been challenging and with the recent bank failures in the USA, blockchain companies, crypto exchanges and stablecoin issuers have been severely impacted.

In this episode, Ian Andrews is joined by a former Chainalysis colleague, Simon Ousager (CEO & Co-Founder) at Januar, a company that is solving this problem for blockchain companies in the EU. 

Simon explains why the EU market is perfect for Januar to provide payment gateway services in crypto and how the MiCA regulations have actually been beneficial in providing more clarity for companies like Januar and other crypto exchanges in the region

We get a crash course in the differences between banks and payment institutions in the EU and what to expect for stablecoin issuers and blockchain entrepreneurs in the next few years.
