As per the announcement, the rotation in the leadership roles will rearrange the management team in a way they will be even more successful in their work.

An Uphill Because Of FCA Restrictions On Wirecard
As a company that deals with e-money payment solutions and respectively cryptocurrency debit cards, TenX had also experienced some struggles after the UK FCA came up with restrictions on Wirecard UK payment services.
As CryptoPotato recently reported, the debit card provider and payment processor Wirecard, whose subsidiary issues visa debit cards for both Crypto.com and TenX, failed to locate over $2 billion of lost assets. Thus all their regulated activities were halted for a while by the UK’s watchdog.
The FCA stated that the main objective of the taken requirements was necessary to protect all customers’ electronic funds. However, it appeared that it also “had the effect of preventing consumers from withdrawing and making payments with those funds.”
Later on, the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) gave their permission to Wirecard UK to start its regulated activity and payment services again. Consequently, the companies handling cryptocurrency debit cards resumed their issuance.
