Kraken Onboards Crypto Exchange Pioneer Miha Grčar as Head Of Business Development

Kraken, a U.S.-based cryptocurrency exchange founded in 2011, announced that Miha Grčar, a pioneer of the cryptocurrency exchange sector, will join Kraken as its Head of Business Development. 

For the better part of the last decade, Miha has helped Bitstamp, a bitcoin exchange based in Luxembourg, gain recognition as a licensed financial institution in Europe. His experience that will prove integral will play a key role as he helps Kraken build critical banking relationships and forge new partnerships with essential stakeholders.

Miha is excited to join Kraken, which he describes as the industry's biggest champion, and is eager to drive Kraken's next phase of growth as the leader in the European market. 

This past year alone, Kraken has obtained new licensing in the U.K., allowing Kraken Futures to become the market's first authorized derivatives marketplace. Further, the U.S. cryptocurrency exchange joined the Crypto Valley Association in Switzerland, bolstering their commitment to this entrepreneurial center.
