Our COO & Co-Founder, Sukhi Jutla, was recently quoted in Cointelegraph article ‘The Future of Cryptocurrencies in the UK Hangs on FCA’s Decision’.
She said: “The proposed ban will be seen as a major blow and backward step for innovation in the crypto-asset space. It will also signal that despite the U.K. being the leaders in the Fintech scene, they will have effectively been compromising on this position.”
She added: “I very much doubt there is transparency of communication between the Government and the FCA.”
and: “Both parties have opposing agendas and viewpoints. Even if the FCA is not ready to embrace crypto assets, it has a duty of care to ensure that if these products are available, protection is in place for consumers and investors.”

Our Co-Founders & COO, Sukhi Jutla, was recently quoted in CEO Blog Nation article ’22 Entrepreneurs Describe The Right Time to Level Up a Business’.
She said: “When current processes are no longer working, you know it’s time to scale up and think bigger. New systems, processes and ways of running the business have to be adapted as you grow and scale. The processes that worked when you had a team of 10 will break down when you have 100 people, so you have to grow your systems in line as you scale.”

MarketOrders Co-Founder and COO, Sukhi Jutla, was recently quoted in CCN article “‘Trump Confusion Trades’ Netting Over $2 Billion Reeks of Insider Trading”.
She said: “Banks spend a lot of time and money in implementing processes to prevent market manipulation activities. One of these practises includes placing excessive trades 15 mins prior to the markets closing as there is a lot of volatility in the markets during closing/opening times and volatility is where the money is made. Where huge sums of money are being made at these times, it is likely that there is insider trading occurring. The trading markets are riding on waves of greed and emotion and many humans will react to this by placing trades they know they shouldn’t.”

Our Co-Founder and COO, Sukhi Jutla, was invited to the British Embassy in France, Paris, for an event that celebrated Women in Tech. Sukhi has previously been named as a Top 100 Woman in Tech and is a leading influential figure in this field. Read her blog post below where she shares her trip to Paris and what she learnt.
I was honoured to receive a personal invitation to the British Embassy in France for a special event to celebrate women leaders.
The event was hosted at the Ambassador’s Resident 39, rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, 75008 Paris, and a panel of speakers shared their inspiring journeys with us during this event. They included:
- Roxanne Varza, CEO of Station F
- Cecile Verdier, President of Christie’s France
- Fiona Dawson, President Global Food, Multisales and Global Customers of Mars
The British Embassy in Paris maintains and develops relations between the UK and France and this event was to celebrate and promote women working in tech in the UK and France and to discover how we can work together to encourage more women to consider pursuing entrepreneurial.
Here are some key takeaways that resonated for me:
Be yourself
When working in male-dominated environments, it is sometimes expected that women need to emulate men. But being yourself, and the BEST version of yourself is what will help you to stand out from the crowd and do your best. Everyone has something of value to offer.
Ask for help
Sometimes we think we need to know it all but the best thing to do is to ask for help. Building a company is hard so asking for help is not a sign of weakness but a sign of courage.
Learn from difficulties
You will no doubt come across many challenges in your career and these can serve as the best lessons to create change. So whenever you incur a setback or challenge, don’t let it go to waste and ask yourself “what can I learn from this experience?”
Embrace the challenge
Your business, if you are going and stretching, will undoubtedly go through rough patches and difficulties. Don’t shy away from them. In fact, the rough patches are needed so you can chart a smoother future. Embrace the hard stuff and you’ll become stronger.
Ask for what you need
Everyone has a right to choose how they do their job so don’t be afraid to ask for flexible working or different hours to suit you.
It was humbling to hear such inspirational stories from the speakers and to meet with incredible men and women striving each day to make a difference with the products and businesses they are building.
The event concluded with a lovely lunch reception!
Our Co-Founder & COO, Sukhi Jutla, was recently quoted in E-Crypto News article “Will Cryptocurrencies And Big Banking Ever Make Peace? Experts Give Their Opinion”.
She said: “Big banks no doubt feel nervous to be upstaged by new smaller innovative startups disrupting their markets. It’s becoming more apparent that Big Banks are not doing enough to innovate or give their customers what they want. Customers are now demanding more options and cheaper ways to transact financial payments.
Big Banks are at a disadvantage as they are slower to respond to change and also, they are reluctant to change if they are already making money (even if this is at the cost of losing customers in the long term).
So, how to resolve this? Big Banks should understand that their key strength is in the assets and resources they own; they should be working and partnering with smaller innovative companies and learning from them.
By working together, Big Banks can leverage these new innovations and the startups can benefit from access to networks and resources the Big Banks have. The question remains, do Big Banks want to share or do they want to swallow up competitors whole?”

Our Head of PR & Communications, Caroline Hoffmann, was recently quoted in Zima Media article “How to Achieve Work-Life Balance When Working Remotely”.
She said: “We are humans, not robots. Some days, we smash it, some days, we’re not in the mood or need to rest, change our mind. Working remotely allows you to do so. I always try to work around 35 hours a week and don’t stick to the 9 to 5 schedule. If I need a break on Wednesday, I take it, and finish my work during the weekend or an evening.”
