Join the most important conversation in crypto and Web3 taking place in Austin, Texas, April 26-28.
Zero Hash, a crypto infrastructure provider that helps companies integrate crypto, has appointed longtime crypto leader Cyril Mathew as its new president and COO as the company looks to expand and grow internationally.
A former big-tech developer, Cyril has led teams in business development at Coinbase as well as Meta (formerly Facebook) and Uber. Most recently, he was the global head of business development and partnerships at payments processor Stripe.
“Some people have recently asked me why I’m still in a space with bad actors like FTX and 3AC,” Mathew said. “I hate what happened to end users of these platforms, but I believe these issues largely happened because of a lack of regulation and transparency.”
Mathew said he realized the importance of a player such as Zero Hash in the crypto ecosystem while working with the company at Stripe, where he led the start-up of the platform’s crypto offerings.
“In getting to know the team and platform over the last year, I realized what an important part of the ecosystem they could become,” he said. “And in light of events of the last several months, having a regulated, trusted, transparent and compliant platform with a tech-forward ethos is critical for the space to grow.”
Zero Hash, which is backed by investors such as VC firm Point72 Ventures, recently unveiled operations in Brazil as it continues to expand into new regions. In January, the company was tapped by crypto bank Juno to serve as its new crypto custodian.
“I am excited that Cyril joining Zero Hash serves as further validation of our position as the leading crypto infrastructure provider and will be an integral part of our continued international expansion and growth,” Edward Woodford, founder and CEO of Zero Hash, said.
