The team behind AllUnity: experience at the intersection of traditional finance and digital assets

Building regulated financial infrastructure requires a specific combination of skills that is genuinely rare: deep knowledge of how traditional financial markets work, credibility with regulators, and the technical ability to build at the frontier of blockchain. AllUnity's leadership team is notable precisely because it brings all three together.

Alexander Höptner, Chief Executive Officer

Alexander Höptner's career is probably the clearest expression of what AllUnity is trying to do as a company. He spent 15 years at Deutsche Börse AG, the operator of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, in various executive roles, before becoming CEO of Börse Stuttgart and its derivatives subsidiary Euwax AG. Under his leadership, Börse Stuttgart became the first traditional exchange operator in the EU to offer crypto markets, a move that required both regulatory navigation and a genuine belief that digital assets belonged in institutional finance. He then went on to serve as Group CEO of 100x Group, the parent company of BitMEX, one of the most significant crypto derivatives platforms globally. The trajectory, from the Frankfurt Stock Exchange to the frontier of crypto, is not a career accident. It reflects a consistent thesis about where finance is heading and what it takes to build the infrastructure for it.

Peter Grosskopf, Chief Technology and Operating Officer

Peter Grosskopf brings the technical and operational depth that a company like AllUnity needs to actually deliver on its infrastructure ambitions. He co-founded Solarisbank, which became one of Europe's leading banking-as-a-service platforms and a significant piece of fintech infrastructure in its own right. He went on to serve as CTO and Managing Director of Börse Stuttgart Digital Exchange before co-founding Unstoppable Finance and building Ultimate, a self-hosted wallet that was later acquired by the decentralized exchange Jupiter. He is also a member of the Digital Advisory Board of the German Ministry of Finance, which reflects both his technical credibility and his proximity to the regulatory conversations that shape the industry. For a company building programmable payment infrastructure, having a CTO with that combination of enterprise banking, exchange, and DeFi experience is not a standard asset.

Rupertus Rothenhaeuser, Chief Commercial Officer

Rupertus Rothenhaeuser oversees sales, marketing, business development, and customer relations. His background spans more than 25 years in equity derivatives sales and trading at firms including Börse Stuttgart, BNP Paribas, ABN AMRO, and CSFB, before he moved into digital assets in 2017\. He served as CEO of Crypto Finance Brokerage AG in Zurich, was a member of the Executive Team at SIX Digital Exchange, and then served as CCO for BitMEX and CEO of BitMEX Switzerland. The commercial profile he brings is suited to the market AllUnity is targeting: institutional clients, corporate treasurers, and regulated financial infrastructure partners who need to trust both the product and the counterparty.

Simon Seiter, Chief Financial and Product Officer

Simon Seiter is responsible for aligning AllUnity's financial strategy with its product development. He joined from Hauck Aufhäuser Lampe, where he served as Head of Digital Assets, and before that held a senior role at Deutsche Börse Group. His background in asset management and digital asset infrastructure at two of Germany's most prominent financial institutions gives him direct experience with the institutional standards AllUnity is building to.

What the team reflects about AllUnity

The pattern across the leadership team is consistent: people who built credibility and experience in traditional financial markets and then moved deliberately into digital assets, rather than arriving from crypto without an understanding of how regulated financial infrastructure actually works. That matters for what AllUnity is trying to build. Issuing a MiCAR-regulated stablecoin, integrating with institutional trading venues, and building payment infrastructure for corporate treasury teams requires a team that financial institutions will take seriously and regulators will engage with. The AllUnity leadership team was assembled with that reality in mind.
