The Zug-based crypto startup Digital Asset Solutions also wants to grow in the United Arab Emirates. A former Credit Suisse banker is implementing the expansion locally, as finews.asia has learned.
To expand into the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Swiss crypto asset manager Digital Asset Solutions (DAS) has brought Swiss financial professional Csaba Dekany on board as a strategic partner, finews.asia has learned. He started his career at Credit Suisse, focusing on high net worth clients, before spending a decade at multi-family office Granite Group in Zurich.
In 2022, Dekany moved to Dubai – an emerging financial hub for traditional and digital assets. In the same year, DAS was founded. The company describes itself as an innovator in financial services and investment management for digital assets. DAS reports to the self-regulatory organization PolyReg in Switzerland, which underlines that compliance with the highest standards in terms of anti-money laundering (AML), customer protection, and transparency is a matter of course.
Strategic Advisor for Partnerships in the Emirates
Dekany is expected to play a key role in the crypto specialist's international expansion and leverage his extensive experience for his role as strategic advisor to management, according to Stefan Höchle, CEO of DAS. In his new role, he will assist the company's management in identifying and assessing new partnership opportunities in the UAE.
Also on board with DAS is Zurich-based asset manager and CEO of VT Wealth Management, Sacha Fedier. He is taking a seat on the board of directors and said lauded Dekany's appointment, adding that the UAE is «a market with great potential».
