Co-founded Monerium (2016), the first licensed e-money issuer on open blockchains — fully-reserved, MiCA-regulated euro (EURe) held and moved from any wallet via Web3 IBANs, now the settlement layer behind Gnosis Pay with over €6B processed in 2025. Former vice-chairman and chairman of the supervisory board of the Central Bank of Iceland (2013–2017), he publicly argues that licensed issuers should get central-bank access so regulated on-chain money can serve everyone.
