Przemyslaw Kral: The Crypto Savvy CEO of Zonda is on a mission to educate the world about the cryptocurrency market and regulations
Cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, have been gaining significant attention and adoption in recent years. These digital assets, based on blockchain technology, offer a decentralized, secure and transparent way to transfer and store value. Cryptocurrency is used for various purposes, from online transactions to investment and fundraising. The use of cryptocurrency also expands to traditional industries such as real estate and finance. As the world becomes more digitized, the role of cryptocurrency will only continue to grow in importance.
Przemyslaw Kral, CEO of Zonda, recently spoke to us about his vision for the future of his company and the cryptocurrency market in general. As the largest cryptocurrency exchange in Central and Eastern Europe, Zonda specializes in cryptocurrency and blockchain technology with a strong focus on regulatory compliance. Kral is a man of many talents, with a background in law and business and a deep understanding of the crypto market. With a Master’s degree in Law from the University of Silesia and an MBA from the International University of Monaco, he worked as an advocate before joining Zonda, gaining valuable experience in the legal field.
“As the cryptocurrency sector becomes more legitimized within the traditional financial sector, the need for clear and beneficial regulations is paramount. This brings with it a swathe or legal requirements that would be incredibly difficult to navigate without a strong legal background. Fortunately at Zonda, we not only have an excellent relationship with regulators but also a great legal team that are well-versed in the intricacies of digital assets and financial law,” says Kral.
One of Kral’s key strengths is his knowledge of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. He is highly knowledgeable not only of the crypto market but also the various regulations that govern it. This experience has helped him navigate the complex regulatory landscape of the digital assets market, enabling him to secure Zonda’s Estonian Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) license and other approvals. In addition to his legal background, Kral’s extensive experience in management has proven invaluable in leading Zonda’s operations.
Besides providing powerful trading tools, Zonda is passionate about helping people understand the potential of blockchain technology and how it can be used to improve financial systems. In line with this goal is a focus on the importance of strict compliance, particularly in the areas of Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) procedures, which are essential to keeping the crypto industry safe.
“It is one thing to deliver top-class trading tools and industry-leading security, but without a clear idea of who your customers are and where their money comes from, you put the entire operation at risk. At Zonda, we strive to meet all necessary compliance procedures while at the same time, causing minimal disruption to our customers,” says Stanislav Havryliuk, Zonda COO.
With its sights set on expanding to several other regions in the EU and beyond, Zonda exhibits a clear motivation to educate its customers about the potential of this exciting new technology. It’s committed to consumer safety and accountability, focusing on top-quality technology to provide a safe trading environment and ensuring that the exchange operates in a compliant and responsible manner.
