xMoney, a provider of payment infrastructure bridging traditional finance and digital assets, has appointed renowned macro investor Raoul Pal as a Strategic Advisor. The announcement was made on February 3rd, 2026, from Vaduz, Liechtenstein. Pal, the founder of Real Vision and Global Macro Investor (GMI), brings decades of experience from senior roles at Goldman Sachs and GLG Partners to xMoney's leadership team.
His appointment comes at a pivotal moment as global payments transition toward regulated digital rails, stablecoins, and on-chain settlement. xMoney aims to leverage Pal's strategic guidance to strengthen its position at the intersection of payments, regulation, and digital assets, building infrastructure for seamless value transfer across traditional currencies, cryptocurrencies, and stablecoins.
Pal co-founded Exponential Age Asset Management (EXPAAM), which runs the Exponential Age Digital Asset Fund, providing curated exposure to top crypto hedge funds. He stated, "Crypto only fulfills its promise when it disappears into the background. The real winners will be the platforms that make global payments simple, compliant, and invisible. That’s what excites me the most about xMoney."
xMoney has adopted a regional-first strategy, building its compliant infrastructure within Europe's highly regulated environment to meet standards like MiCA from the outset. Gregorious Siourounis, Co-Founder & CEO of xMoney, said, "We’re building payment rails for the future, starting in the most regulated markets first... Raoul’s depth of experience, macro insight, and clarity of thought reinforce our belief that long-term winners in payments will be compliant, scalable, and globally interoperable."
The move underscores xMoney's commitment to creating a scalable payment infrastructure that bridges traditional finance and Web3, facilitating seamless cross-border transactions.
