In this episode, I sit down with Chris Harmse, Co-founder of BVNK.
Chris is native from South Africa, where he also started his career in finance, starting at Renaissance Capital, Rezco asset management and most importantly the trading desk of fixed income at BNP Paribas.
He then went on working in the hedge fund industry, at Asymmetry asset management and Excelsia capital. During this experience he discovered the world of crypto and stablecoin, and that was the push that led him to launch BVNK. BVNK builds enterprise-grade payments infrastructure for stablecoins, and is one of the biggest payments providers in this industry, with more than 300 employees and over $12 billion in transactions managed.
With him, we will be talking about his experience coming from South Africa to London and San Francisco, his take on the fintech market, and most importantly the present and future for stablecoin.
