Jordan J. Chircop has been appointed Senior Compliance Manager at cryptocurrency exchange OKX.
Mr Chircop brings experience in regulatory compliance and anti-money laundering, having previously served as Deputy Money Laundering Reporting Officer (MLRO) at Stakelogic Live.
Before this, he held the positions of Deputy MLRO and Compliance Executive at Rizzo Farrugia & Co. Ltd, and Compliance Lead at Templar European Investment Services.
He holds a Master’s degree in Financial Services Management, with his dissertation examining the evolution of EU regulations affecting Maltese investment firms, particularly the balance between compliance costs and investor protection.
