Building on Bedrock: Welcoming Joshua Weiss to the Anton Payments Advisory Board

There's a shift happening in cross-border payments. It's not coming, it's already here. Stablecoins processed more volume than Visa and Mastercard combined in 2024. Digital asset rails are moving from speculative infrastructure to operational reality. The question for payments companies isn't whether this matters. It's whether you have the people who understand it deeply enough to build for it.

That's why we're proud to welcome Joshua Weiss, CAIA, to the Anton Payments advisory board.

Who Josh Is

Josh's career traces a clean line from institutional finance to the cutting edge of digital asset infrastructure. He spent seven years at Bloomberg LP as a Senior Relationship Manager, managing the firm's hedge fund business across New York, Washington D.C., and the Mid-Atlantic region. That's years of operating at the institutional level, understanding how sophisticated capital allocators think, and building the kind of trust-based relationships that move markets.

From Bloomberg, Josh moved into blockchain compliance at Elliptic, one of the world's leading blockchain analytics and crypto risk platforms. As Head of Sales and Partnerships, he sat at the intersection of regulatory pressure and digital asset adoption, helping institutions navigate compliance in an environment where the rules were still being written.

He now serves as Global Head of Sales at Utila, an institutional digital asset operations platform that has grown to process over $15 billion in monthly volume, backed by leading investors including Nyca Partners, Wing VC, and DCG. He is also the founder of Revenue3, a fintech-focused revenue consultancy, US Ambassador for the Canadian Blockchain Consortium, and holds the Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst (CAIA) designation.

Why It Matters for Anton

Anton Payments is AI-native cross-border payout infrastructure. We're building for the world where money moves faster, smarter, and across more rails than ever before -- including the digital asset rails that are rapidly becoming part of the global financial fabric.

Having Josh in our corner means we're not guessing at where that world is headed. He has operated inside the compliance infrastructure that makes institutional digital asset adoption possible. He understands the institutional decision-making process from his Bloomberg years. And he's currently building the commercial side of one of the fastest-growing digital asset operations platforms on the market.

That's not a theoretical perspective. That's ground truth.

What We're Building Together

The payments industry is converging. Traditional rails, digital asset rails, AI-native risk infrastructure -- they're not separate tracks anymore. The companies that understand how to operate across all of them are the ones that will define the next decade of global commerce.

Anton Payments is building to be one of those companies. And we're doing it with advisors like Josh -- people who have operated at the frontier and are still pushing it forward.

Welcome to the team, Josh. Big things ahead.
