The team is pleased to welcome Wayne Tan as our General Counsel, in charge of legal and compliance at OpenEden. Wayne brings a wealth of experience having previously served as the Head of Legal at Sygnum Bank in Singapore.
Wayne is an experienced in-house legal, regulatory, and compliance counsel with extensive experience advising on key areas like Corporate, FinReg/Tech, Payments, Blockchain, and Digitalisation matters.
He has a successful track record of over 12 years in building, implementing, and running legal, regulatory, and compliance frameworks for regulated entities providing blockchain and digital capital market product services. These include activities ranging from fund management, custody, tokenization, and dealing in securities and structured products.
Wayne has been instrumental in advising on and guiding digital asset projects through regulatory and legal issues since 2017, most recently having succeeded in obtaining a major payments institution license for Sygnum to carry out digital payment token services in Singapore.
Prior to Sygnum, where he headed their legal and compliance departments between 2021 to 2023, Wayne practiced corporate and commercial law at international law firm Duane Morris LLP with a focus on technology and financial regulatory work, specifically for blockchain, payments, and licensing.
He graduated with an LL.B and B.SC from the University of New South Wales and is called to the bar in both New South Wales and Singapore.
Wayne’s addition to our team is evidence of the growth we’ve made at OpenEden, and we couldn’t be more thrilled about what’s to come. As we continue to expand our product suite and scale our operations, Wayne’s extensive experience will be invaluable.
With Wayne on board, we are confident that OpenEden is positioned to build the best-in-class next-generation platform for tokenized RWAs like US Treasury Bills.
We’re eager to have people like Wayne on our team, to drive this mission forward. LFG!
