Charlie Rothkopf, founder and CEO of CZR Exchange, has been on a mission — not just to talk about the future of trading, but to build it, globally. Over the last several weeks, he’s traveled across four of the world’s most important crypto hubs — Abu Dhabi, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Switzerland — meeting with partners, speaking at events, and laying critical foundations for CZR’s continued growth.
With the upcoming launch of $CZR, the exchange’s utility token, and the company’s broader vision to create a trading platform that’s faster, more transparent, and user-centric, this journey was about more than visibility — it was about strategy, infrastructure, and momentum. As part of that momentum, CZR has officially relocated its global headquarters from Abu Dhabi to Malta — a move that reflects both regulatory alignment and the company’s long-term positioning within Europe’s rapidly evolving digital asset ecosystem.
Abu Dhabi: Bridging Innovation in the Middle East
The journey began in Abu Dhabi, where Rothkopf engaged with regional investors, regulators, and financial leaders eager to shape the future of digital assets in the Gulf. The UAE has quickly become one of the world’s most proactive jurisdictions in terms of crypto regulation, and CZR Exchange is leaning into that momentum.
“Abu Dhabi is serious about innovation,” Rothkopf noted. “There’s capital, infrastructure, and a genuine openness to building the future of finance — we want to be a part of that.”
Singapore: The Heart of Our Tech Operations
In Singapore, the focus turned to tech — the very engine driving CZR Exchange. With CZR’s core development team based in Singapore, this stop was a homecoming of sorts. Rothkopf met with the engineers, product leads, and developers bringing the platform to life.
While in town, he also spoke at a major crypto event, highlighting the exchange’s hybrid model and the utility of $CZR in creating a more frictionless and fair trading environment. “Singapore has always been ahead of the curve in fintech,” Rothkopf said. “It’s the perfect base for our tech team — innovative, efficient, and globally connected.”
Hong Kong: Legal Infrastructure and Industry Leadership
Hong Kong has long been a gateway for financial innovation in Asia, and CZR is laying groundwork there with a clear purpose. Rothkopf spent time setting up initial legal structures as the company begins the formal process of applying for a crypto exchange license in the region. He met with legal advisors and compliance experts to ensure that CZR’s expansion into Asia is backed by strong, transparent governance.
While in Hong Kong, Charlie Rothkopf also attended Consensus Hong Kong, one of the industry’s most influential gatherings. The event brought together leaders across blockchain, DeFi, and institutional finance — providing a platform to exchange ideas and share CZR’s vision with a global audience. “Consensus was a powerful reminder that we’re building something the market is genuinely hungry for,” Rothkopf noted. “People are paying attention to what CZR is doing — and they want in.”
Switzerland: Strategic Meetings in Davos
The final stop brought Rothkopf to Switzerland, where he attended meetings in Davos, the alpine town known for its high-level conversations around global economics, finance, and innovation. The Swiss crypto ecosystem is defined by its precision and professionalism — qualities that align perfectly with CZR’s long-term goals.
From institutional asset managers to blockchain funds and legal advisors, the Swiss meetings helped shape the roadmap for CZR’s expansion into the European market. “Davos was incredible,” Rothkopf shared. “The level of discourse, the caliber of people — it was a reminder that CZR is playing on a truly global stage now.”
CZR Exchange: A Global Vision in Motion
From infrastructure to regulation, from tech to trust — this global tour was about much more than handshakes and speeches. It was about planting the seeds for a platform that is built to scale, and built to last.
“CZR isn’t just another exchange,” said Rothkopf. “It’s a new model for what crypto trading can be. We’re building it to be smarter, fairer, and truly global — and the world is ready for it.”
As the crypto industry matures, the leaders who will shape its future are already putting in the work. For Charlie Rothkopf and CZR Exchange, the journey has just begun — and it’s moving fast.
