Stablecoin wallet infrastructure provider Blockradar has announced that Morgan Williams has joined the company as cofounder and chief operating officer.

Founder and CEO Abdulfatai Suleiman shared the update via a post on X (formerly Twitter) late Tuesday.

The details 

  • According to Suleiman, Williams had been part of the firm since its inception and had only recently officially assumed the role of COO. 
  • He added that her expertise in pioneering fintech growth across multiple continents was what Blockradar needed to scale to its next level. 
  • Williams confirmed her new role in a separate social media post, linking to an article she published on her experience working with Blockradar since January and making a case for wider stablecoin adoption. 

Key quotes 

  • Suleiman posted on X:

  • When asked about her vision for Blockradar, Williams told Mariblock:
“Blockradar was born out of a real need: supporting fintechs in emerging markets that were either struggling to run cross-border businesses or looking to offer USD exposure, like USD accounts, but didn’t have the infrastructure to do it. We built Blockradar to remove the friction and complexity.

“My vision is simple: to be the invisible engine powering a future where financial services are no longer bound by borders or outdated systems. And the key to unlocking that future is fintechs. By powering them, we’re not just supporting stablecoin adoption. We’re accelerating real-world adoption, right where it matters most.”

Zoom out 

  • Blockradar offers a wallet-as-a-service product, providing non-custodial stablecoin wallets for businesses to facilitate cross-border payments and onramp/offramp stablecoin transactions. 
  • A month ago, Suleiman announced that the product was now publicly available, having issued 15,000 wallets and processed $32M in payments during its private pilot program across four continents.
