xMoney Brings Raoul Pal On as Strategic Advisor

Vaduz, Liechtenstein, February 3rd, 2026, Chainwire 

xMoney, a leading provider of compliant payment infrastructure connecting traditional finance and digital assets, has appointed Raoul Pal as a Strategic Advisor.

Raoul Pal is a long-time macro investor, entrepreneur, and financial commentator, known for his work analyzing global liquidity, market cycles, and the impact of technological change on financial systems.

His appointment comes as global payments continue to shift toward regulated digital rails, stablecoins, and on-chain settlement.

xMoney said Raoul will advise the company as it builds payment infrastructure designed to support value transfer across fiat currencies, cryptocurrencies, and stablecoins, while operating within regulatory frameworks.

A Career Spanning Global Finance and Digital Assets

Raoul began his career in traditional finance, 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.

In 2005, he founded Global Macro Investor (GMI), a research platform used by hedge funds, family offices, pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, and other institutional and high-net-worth investors. GMI is known for its independent macroeconomic research.

He later co-founded Real Vision in 2014, a financial media platform focused on making institutional-grade market analysis more broadly accessible, which has since grown into a global network with millions of users.

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.

“Crypto only fulfills its promise when it disappears into the background,” said Raoul Pal. “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.

“We’re building payment rails for the future, starting in the most regulated markets first,” said Gregorious Siourounis, Co-Founder & CEO of xMoney. “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 shows xMoney’s commitment to building a compliant, scalable payment infrastructure that bridges traditional finance and Web3, enabling businesses and consumers to transact seamlessly across borders, currencies, and technologies.
