February 3, 2026 – Vaduz, Liechtenstein
A globally respected investor and founder of Real Vision brings decades of financial market insight to xMoney’s leadership team.
xMoney, a leading provider of compliant payment infrastructure bridging TradFi (traditional finance) and digital assets, today announced that Raoul Pal has joined the company as a strategic advisor.
Raoul Pal is one of the most widely respected macro thinkers of his generation.
An investor, entrepreneur and financial commentator, he has spent decades analyzing how money moves, how markets evolve and how technological shifts reshape global financial systems.
His appointment comes at a pivotal moment, as global payments transition toward regulated digital rails, stablecoins and on-chain settlement.
With Raoul’s strategic guidance, xMoney aims to further strengthen its position at the intersection of payments, regulation and digital assets building infrastructure that enables seamless value transfer across traditional currencies, cryptocurrencies and stablecoins.
A career spanning global finance and digital assets
Raoul began his career in TradFi, holding senior roles at Goldman Sachs, where he led hedge fund sales for equities and derivatives in Europe, and later at GLG Partners, where he co-managed a global macro fund alongside some of the world’s most respected hedge fund managers.
In 2005, he founded Global Macro Investor (GMI), which has since become a trusted research platform for hedge funds, family offices, pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, registered investment advisors and HNWIs (high-net-worth investors) worldwide.
GMI is widely recognized for its independent macro research and strong long-term performance track record.
Raoul co-founded Real Vision in 2014, transforming financial media by making institutional-grade market intelligence accessible to a global audience.
What began as a video-first platform evolved into a global financial knowledge network with millions of users across nearly every country.
The new xMoney advisor is also the co-founder of Exponential Age Asset Management (EXPAAM), an investment firm built specifically for the digital asset economy.
Its flagship fund, the Exponential Age Digital Asset Fund, provides curated exposure to top crypto hedge funds by combining macroeconomic frameworks with deep digital asset research.
Supporting the future of payments
Raoul’s long-standing belief is that the world is experiencing a structural shift in money, technology and market infrastructure not a temporary trend.
Payments, in particular, are undergoing one of the most significant transformations in decades.
Unlike many payment platforms that expand globally first and retrofit compliance later, xMoney has taken a regional-first approach, building its infrastructure within Europe, one of the most highly regulated financial environments in the world.
This strategy enables xMoney to meet stringent regulatory standards from day one while creating a scalable foundation for global expansion aligned with frameworks such as MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets).
Raoul Pal said,
“Crypto only fulfills its promise when it disappears into the background.
“The real winners will be the platforms that make global payments simple, compliant and invisible.
“That’s what excites me the most about xMoney.”
As strategic advisor, Raoul will work closely with xMoney’s leadership team, focusing on long-term strategy, market structure and anticipating how global money movement will evolve as regulated stablecoins, compliant on-chain settlement and hybrid payment models become foundational financial infrastructure.
Gregorious Siourounis, co-founder and CEO of xMoney, said,
“We’re building payment rails for the future, starting in the most regulated markets first.
“That discipline gives us a structural advantage as digital assets move into mainstream finance.
“Raoul’s depth of experience, macro insight and clarity of thought reinforce our belief that long-term winners in payments will be compliant, scalable and globally interoperable.”
The appointment underscores xMoney’s commitment to building a compliant, scalable payment infrastructure that bridges TradFi and Web 3.0, enabling businesses and consumers to transact seamlessly across borders, currencies and technologies.
