In this episode of DACOM Digital, Rija Rameloarison, Chief Compliance and Legal Officer at Meria, shares insights into his journey from studying law and compliance in France to working at a leading regulated crypto platform. He discusses how his experiences growing up in corruption-ridden Madagascar fuelled his passion for regulatory and compliance work. He also explains how challenging it can be for young, crypto-native companies is to quickly adapt to new regulatory requirements. Rameloarison reflects on the French regulators’ progressive approach to regulation, which began with a risk-based methodology focused on anti-money laundering (AML), terrorism financing, and fraud prevention, and has since expanded to encompass market manipulation and consumer protection. Despite the complexity, Rameloarison’s leadership in compliance has helped Meria establish a positive reputation among regulators.
