Kevin Murcko has worked in financial markets for more than twenty years. He traded currencies independently from 2002, then ran FXPIG, a retail FX brokerage registered in New Zealand and later licensed in Vanuatu, as CEO from 2009 to 2020. In 2017 he founded Coinmetro, a digital-asset exchange licensed in Estonia, and led it as CEO; he also co-founded the European Crypto Association, which worked on self-regulation for European exchanges. Coinmetro paused its services in June 2026; its reorganization is before the Estonian courts, and his statement on it is on the About page.
Today he runs Soonish, a software studio building stablecoin and non-custodial infrastructure for regulated fintech, advises founders and boards on market structure and licensing, and co-hosts Eavesdrop, a weekly unscripted conversation on money, power and tech. He has spoken at Bitcoin Amsterdam, the European Blockchain Convention, AIBC, Blockchain Life and Nordic Fintech Week, and was a guest lecturer at TalTech. He is based in Tallinn.
