FRANKFURT, 5 March, 2025: 21X, a pioneering digital asset exchange and ecosystem, today announced the appointment of Victoria Jahn as Head of Regulatory Affairs. This strategic appointment underscores 21X’s commitment to navigating the complex regulatory landscape of digital assets and ensuring compliance as it prepares for its exchange launch.
Jahn brings to 21X extensive expertise in DLT and blockchain legal matters, with a specialized focus on the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR) and the DLT Pilot Regime. Prior to joining 21X, Jahn was an Associated Partner at Waldeck Rechtsanwälte where she played a key role in establishing and expanding the firm’s digital assets practice. Her experience includes advising a broad range of clients, from startups and FinTech companies to regulated investment firms and market operators, on implementing DLT-based business models and ensuring regulatory compliance.
Jahn’s career highlights include:
- Specialization in legal matters around DLT and blockchain since 2016
- Key involvement in the banking practice at Waldeck Rechtsanwälte, with a focus on crypto-assets and digital assets
- Extensive experience in licensing procedures for investment services and implementing crypto-related business models
- Key mandates with key players in the crypto assets and digital assets industry on various crypto-specific projects
- Recognized expertise in carbon markets and CO2 token projects.
On her appointment, Victoria Jahn stated:
“21X realized that the everyday mantra that we have to re-think capital markets does not actually lead to new capital markets. Someone has to do the job, and it must be done the right way. That’s exactly what 21X does by combining innovation and regulation. I believe my legal experience will be a perfect fit with 21X and the best reason to go all-in to assist the company in meeting its goals.”
Ulf Medek, Head of Legal and HR at 21X, added:
“We are thrilled to welcome Victoria to 21X. Her deep understanding of the regulatory framework surrounding digital assets, particularly MiCAR and the DLT Pilot Regime, will be invaluable as we launch our exchange. Her proven track record and extensive network within both the traditional and digital asset sectors make her an exceptional addition to our team.”
Jahn holds legal qualifications from Heidelberg, Frankfurt/Main and Darmstadt.
