Luno’s Surprise Exit From The Lion City

Luno, a global cryptocurrency company, has been operating in the Southeast Asian region since 2016, with a strong presence in both Malaysia and Singapore. Offering a user-friendly platform for cryptocurrency trading, Luno has garnered a loyal customer base in both countries, playing a key role in the region's fintech industry.

However, the recent announcement of Luno's decision to cease operations in Singapore from 20 June 2023 has sent shockwaves throughout the industry.

With us to talk us through the decision to leave Singapore, and to quell any mystery is Aaron Tang who just yesterday was named APAC General Manager for Luno, and David Low, outgoing APAC General Manager.
