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.

Me in a nutshell: "There hasn't been a single day in the last 7 years that I haven't been excited about helping the financial industry to shape the digital change and making the financial world more efficient, accessible, and user-friendly. Let’s shape the future together!"

My journey in the financial industry started with my dual study program at KPMG, where I gained substantial experience in conducting annual audits for small foreign banks and various major clients in the German banking sector. My time at KPMG helped me to develop an independent and goal-oriented planning, execution, and documentation of a various financial services processes.

After finishing my dual study program, I joined Exxeta to further develop my advisory skillset. One project was about the integration of ESG data vendors into the reporting workflow of a prominent asset management company. We were able to successful implement the broad process changes regardless of their great complexity. This was a great opportunity to further develop my ability to drive innovative solutions and collaborate effectively across cross-functional and international teams. In another project we created a blockchain solution for CO2 offsetting and the utilization of green electricity. This gave us the opportunity to offer our customers a new digital solution for a real-world problem.

Furthermore, I am glad that LPA has given me the opportunity to expand my expertise in the areas of regulation, technology, and transformation projects and to take on more responsibility. In 2023 I had the chance to work for 5 months in Zürich, that enhanced my capability in collaborating with cross-functional and international teams and strengthened my ability to thrive under tight deadlines. We were working on a regulatory project to change an internal process for one of the biggest banks in Switzerland. Furthermore, my engagement in activities such as business development and forging partnerships increased and helped us in both client relationship cultivation and market involvement.

I am very thankful for gaining invaluable experience in various facets of regulations, business strategy, transformation, and IT implementation throughout my career.
