Fasset Taps Mehtap Önder to Turbocharge Digital Asset Adoption Across Asia and Africa

Institutional crypto just got its heavyweight champion.

Fasset's power play puts regulatory veteran Mehtap Önder at the helm of their global expansion charge. Her mission? Cut through the red tape that's been strangling digital asset adoption across emerging markets.

Asia's regulatory maze meets its match

Önder doesn't just understand compliance—she rewrites the rulebook. With financial authorities from Singapore to Dubai already in her rearview mirror, she's now targeting the trillion-dollar opportunities waiting in Asia's developing economies.

Africa's digital revolution gets its architect

While traditional finance still debates whether crypto has legs, Önder's team is building the infrastructure to bypass decades of banking exclusion. Because nothing says 'financial inclusion' like cutting out the middlemen who've been profiting from exclusion.

The institutional floodgates are opening—just as retail investors start questioning whether they're late to another party thrown by VCs and investment banks. Some things never change in finance, even when the assets do.
