Max Crown
President CEO TON Foundation and Board Director MoonPay
Max Crown (Maximilian) is a fintech and blockchain entrepreneur focused on building financial infrastructure for the next generation of the internet.
He is President & CEO of the TON Foundation, where he helps steward The Open Network (TON) and its integration with Telegram—bringing payments, digital ownership, and decentralized applications to hundreds of millions of users worldwide. Previously, Max co-founded MoonPay, one of the world’s leading crypto payments platforms, where he served as CFO/COO and remains a board member.
Max’s work sits at the intersection of technology, regulation, and product design, with a focus on making complex financial systems simple, accessible, and global. He is especially interested in stablecoins, real-world asset tokenization, and consumer-friendly crypto products that scale through distribution rather than speculation.
Based between the U.S., Europe, and the Middle East, Max is an active speaker, advisor, and investor in emerging technology, and a firm believer that the future of finance will be embedded directly into the platforms people already use every day.
