WSPN, a world-renowned digital payments company, announced the appointment of Mr. Austin Campbell, an expert in the stablecoin and digital asset markets, as CEO of the company's US region. WSPN is well-known for its flagship stablecoin product, Worldwide USD ("WUSD"), and this strategic appointment comes at a critical time for the company to embark on the next phase of growth, with the goal of making WUSD a leading solution in the emerging "Stablecoin 2.0" space - faster, cheaper and more secure.
Mr. Campbell has extensive experience in the stablecoin market and digital asset strategy, having managed stable value products at JPMorgan Chase and Citibank, and managed reserves and risk control for stablecoins (BUSD, USDP) while at Paxos, and participated in the design of the stablecoin PYUSD. This appointment highlights WSPN's commitment to building best-in-class financial products and revolutionizing the payment space through its "Stablecoin 2.0" vision to provide faster, cheaper and more secure transaction experiences for everyone.
Mr. Campbell previously served as WSPN's Chief Strategy Officer, playing an important role in developing the company's strategic blueprint and expanding new market opportunities for WUSD. In his new role, he will lead the company and work to bring this vision to the U.S. and global markets. His priorities will include:
Driving the adoption of WUSD: Mr. Campbell will leverage his deep knowledge of the stablecoin ecosystem to lead WUSD to become the leading global stablecoin solution.
Leading Finance and Risk Management: Mr. Campbell will leverage his expertise to ensure the stability and security of WUSD and build trust and confidence in WUSD among users and partners around the world.

"I am very excited to serve as CEO of WSPN US," said Mr. Campbell. "Stablecoins are key to improving the global financial system. We are committed to building the best products for consumers and creating a fair, transparent system that gives everyone control over their money and the flexibility to use it globally. Our goal is to bring a world-class user experience to stablecoins so that many users who pay with US dollars don't even know they are using blockchain technology. WSPN is committed to building a more efficient economic model that promotes a virtuous cycle that benefits the entire ecosystem."
Prior to joining WSPN, Mr. Campbell was the founder and managing partner of Zero Knowledge Consulting, providing consulting services on market structure and risk management within the crypto ecosystem.
