According to a Thursday announcement, Feroz, who holds a number of advisory roles in the cryptocurrency space, will help MoonPay expand globally after it secured approval for a virtual financial asset license in Malta.
“As we continue to build MoonPay, maintaining and managing our exponential growth in a sustainable manner will be key,” said Ivan Soto-Wright, CEO of MoonPay.
Feroz previously spent several years as CEO of Coinbase UK, and was global head of payments at crowdfunding firm Tilt.com before that. He has also held positions at Skrill and Paysafe.
In February, cryptocurrency payment services company BCB Group appointed Feroz as an adviser.
