Qivalis, a euro stablecoin initiative powered by European banks, has appointed Vid Hribar as head of institutional partnership.
In this role he will be responsible for building a pipeline for institutional adoption and creating a commercial team.
Previously, he was at Raiffeisen Bank International (RBI) for seven years working in the blockchain hub and as a credit officer.
While at the blockchain hub, he focused on driving RBI’s strategy,research, and development efforts.
In this role, he was involved in the assessment and implementation of blockchain and distributed ledger technologies (DLT) through different strategic and experimental projects.
Prior to this, he was a trainee in the ‘best of south-east programme’ organised by Steiermärkische Sparkasse working across departments including in strategic risk management.
Hribar remarks on LinkedIn: “My time at RBI was inspiring — we explored blockchain early and laid the groundwork for future digital asset offerings. Banks may move slowly, but their depth of knowledge is immense and I’m grateful to my colleagues for the great collaboration.
“At Qivalis, we’re now taking this foundation further by building a MiCAR-compliant euro stablecoin — a key piece of infrastructure for Europe’s digital economy. I view Qivalis as a satellite launched from the banking world into the digital asset space.”
