Kast Appoints Former Senior SEC Advisor as US Policy Lead

Stablecoin payment company Kast has appointed Stephanie Allen, a former communications official at the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), as its head of corporate and policy communications. The hire aims to bolster the company's regulatory engagement and policy operations as it scales its global presence, including the upcoming launch of Kast Business across North America, Latin America, and the Middle East. Allen brings extensive experience from her tenure at the SEC, where she served in public affairs and media relations roles. This strategic addition follows Kast's recent $80 million funding round, which valued the firm at $600 million as it expands its payment infrastructure and compliance capabilities.
