Gupta succeeds Marina Khaustova in the position, who will now shift to the role of COO to “co-pilot Crystal forward together” with the new lead, after serving as CEO since January 2019.
Unveiling the news via LinkedIn, Khaustova says the start-up’s new leadership structure seeks to “amplify our efforts in safeguarding the blockchain industry, aligning supervisory bodies and financial institutions with our vision”.
Founded by blockchain technology company Bitfury in 2018 and based in Amsterdam, Crystal provides web-based regtech solutions to aid financial institutions in complying with crypto-based regulations and to help law enforcement agencies pinpoint those that choose otherwise.
