  • Nauticus has been built upon a solid foundation of security and compliance led by Chief Operating Officer Jonathan Chang, a former ANZ banker, and CEO Bryan Ng, a licensed accountant (CPA).
  • A lack of regulation in the industry has seen a flurry of corruption, with the EU experiencing 700 scams netting $50 million in the month of January alone.
  • Countries such as Australia, Switzerland and Malta have embraced well-designed regulations which both protect users and encourage innovation, to ensure the ongoing longevity of digital currency across the globe.
