Longtime FX and CFDs industry executive Iain Rogers has announced that he has joined crypto trading platform OKX, as Head of Compliance EMEA.
Iain Rogers has acted as UK CEO for a number of global CFD brokers, including Admirals (2015-2017), Pepperstone (2017-2019), Trivepro (previously GKFX Prime, 2019-2021), and Finveo (2021-2023), departing Finveo after the company decided to relinquish its FCA license.
Most recently, Iain was COO and Head of Digital Assets at Veax Labs, where he led operations and growth for a DeFi swap and PerpDEX trading platform.
Iain posted the following note on LinkedIn regarding his move to OKX.
I’m delighted to share that I’ve joined OKX as Head of Compliance, EMEA.
After many years in financial services and markets, one mission has stayed with me: trust, operational excellence and compliance should be a real competitive advantage; not just a tick in a box.
OKX is moving as fast as the industries around it; AI tools for finance, digital assets, crypto innovation. It’s grown from a crypto exchange into “The New Money App”, and it’s helping shape the next era of finance.
More groundbreaking products.
More ways to use DeFi safely.
More reasons people need to be able to trust us.
That’s exactly where compliance earns its place; not behind the business, but moving in step with it.
The future of finance is being built right now, and I’m excited to be part of it – for that, a huge thankyou to Star Xu and Jonathan B.
