Techie with a faible for founding banks | Entrepreneur | Co-Founder/CTO at Unstoppable Finance | ex CTO at Börse Stuttgart Digital Exchange | ex Co-Founder/CTO at Solarisbank

Peter Grosskopf is CTO/COO at AllUnity, a joint venture of DWS, Flow Traders and Galaxy Digital that is building an E-Money institute in Germany to issue a MiCAR-compliant EUR-denominated stablecoin in the future to enhance liquidity and efficiency in tokenized markets. He is responsible for technology and for setting up the organization. 

Before, he was co-founder and CTO of Unstoppable Finance GmbH, a Berlin-based company with the mission of bringing decentralized finance applications (DeFi) to the masses. With Iron they planned building the first on-chain bank, which is based on a proprietary blockchain technology called "Iron Chain." Iron Chain addresses the three key issues that regulated companies, in particular, face with public, permissionless blockchains: privacy of account data, compliance, and governance. Previously, Unstoppable developed the self-hosted wallet app Ultimate (https://ultimate.app), which was acquired by the decentralized exchange Jupiter in April 2024. Before that, Peter was CTO and Managing Director of Börse Stuttgart Digital Exchange, the first regulated exchange for digital assets (MTF) in Germany. Prior to that, he was CTO and co-founder of Solarisbank, a fullbank with technology platform to enable Fintechs to go to market. Peter has a background in technology and entrepreneurship. In 2008, he founded a software engineering consulting company focused on digitization projects and grew it to 30 employees profitably. In 2014, he moved to Berlin to join the company builder Hitfoxgroup and Finleap as CTO, with a focus on fintech. He has been fascinated by blockchain and decentralization since the end of 2016, and since then, he has pursued the vision of making decentralized banking a reality.

In addition to his entrepreneurial activities, Peter is a speaker at various industry events, a member of the Digital Advisory Board of the German Ministry of Finance ("Digital Finance Forum"), a contributor in shaping regulation (Crypto Taxation in Germany, TFR, MiCAR, MiCAR Level 2, AMLR, BCBS Standards) in Germany (via Ministry of Finance, Bitkom, private initiatives) and EU (via Blockchain for Europe), a lecturer at IKF Lucerne on Blockchain Technology (CAS), and was a lecturer for two years at FH Münster, teaching subjects such as web engineering, as well as at the Data Science Summer School at Saarland University. As a supervisory board member of 21x, he supports the development of the first marketplace for digital assets under the European DLT Pilot Regime.

Partnership Manager Gaming

With a background grounded in over a decade of experience, I've found my niche in the tech world, building complex products and guiding start-up teams through rigorous projects. My approach is simple - I focus on creating realistic, effective solutions that meet and exceed customer needs, bridging the gap between technology and business.

My communication skills have proven to be an asset, enabling me to establish a presence and cultivate a positive environment. Despite the intensity of the tech sector, I've learned to embrace the challenge, demonstrating courage and competence in the face of demanding situations.

I am not just a leader but also a team player, adopting modern workflows to meet objectives. I believe in the power of understatement, opting to let my work speak for itself rather than relying on fanfare and publicity. This approach has allowed me to remain focused and dedicated, even in the most challenging of times.

In a world where technology and ethical practices often seem to be at odds, I stand firm in advocating for data privacy and responsible tech practices. I approach my work with a quiet confidence, always aiming to use technology as a force for good.

Ultimately, my goal is not just to achieve great results but to inspire and lead teams to do the same. Through courage, competence, and a healthy dose of understated confidence, I've found that there's no limit to what we can achieve."
