Current Position
Laurent Kssis is a board member of Virtune, the Stockholm-based issuer of crypto exchange-traded products.
Background & Biography
Virtune’s current board biography dates his appointment to 2024, and its May 2026 annual-meeting announcement confirms his re-election. His earlier executive work includes XBT Provider, where he served as CEO, and roles at 21Shares and Hashdex. Virtune also describes his work with the London trading and consultancy business CEC Capital. His listed education is an honours degree in mathematics from City University London.
Notable Contributions
Kssis’s professional record connects several generations of European crypto investment products. Virtune identifies his former 21Shares role as global head of ETPs and describes his involvement in Hashdex’s Swiss setup. Its board biography also lists directorships at Issuance Swiss and Invierno. These are distinct professional appointments; they should not be read as evidence that he currently manages every organisation with which he has worked.
Why Katharos.ai Is Following Them
Katharos.ai follows Kssis for his experience in the design, distribution and governance of exchange-traded access to crypto assets. His board position at Virtune places him in a business focused on investment products rather than the operation of a cryptocurrency protocol. That distinction matters when assessing how digital assets reach investors through securities-market infrastructure. Katharos.ai’s interest is editorial and does not constitute a recommendation of his employer or its products.
Areas to Follow
Areas to follow include European crypto ETP development, issuer governance, distribution through exchanges and the relationship between product structure and investor understanding. Virtune describes its products as backed by crypto assets and issued under an approved EU base prospectus. Katharos.ai will distinguish those issuer statements from any independent assessment of investment suitability or performance. Changes to Kssis’s board and executive responsibilities are also relevant to future coverage.
Reporting Scope
Coverage focuses on substantiated professional roles, public company disclosures and developments in digital-asset investment infrastructure. Sweden is used as the directory’s primary market because Virtune is headquartered in Stockholm; it is not a claim about Kssis’s nationality or residence. His London consultancy work is recorded as a separate regional association. Historic appointments remain labelled as former roles.
