Former Swift CEO Lazaro Campos Takes Chairman Role at Stablecoin Firm OpenTrade
Lazaro Campos, former CEO of global payments network Swift, has joined London-based stablecoin firm OpenTrade as chairman of its board. The appointment comes as OpenTrade reports $300 million in assets locked on its platform and more than $1 billion in annual transaction volume.
Lazaro Campos, the former chief executive of global interbank messaging network Swift, has joined London-based stablecoin firm OpenTrade as chairman of its board, the company announced. The appointment places a veteran of traditional cross-border payments infrastructure at the helm of a digital-asset platform focused on stablecoin-based finance.
OpenTrade said it currently reports $300 million in assets locked on its platform and more than $1 billion in annual transaction volume. Campos's tenure at Swift, the cooperative that underpins much of the world's correspondent banking messaging, gives the firm a high-profile link to conventional payments rails as it seeks to bridge traditional finance and stablecoin settlement.
The move adds to a broader trend of established finance figures taking senior roles at crypto and stablecoin ventures, a signal investors often read as a step toward institutional credibility. OpenTrade has not disclosed specific strategic plans tied to the appointment; observers will watch whether Campos's network and payments expertise translate into new banking partnerships or expanded settlement volumes.
