Mo Shaikh joins Klickl as Strategic Advisor to accelerate Web3 payment innovation
Under Mo's strategic guidance, Klickl will reshape digital payments in Web3, unlocking new opportunities for global institutions and users, and jointly building the future of compliant, scalable, and seamless crypto payments.
Navigating Web3 tides with focused insightsRecently, Klickl announced that Mo Shaikh, former CEO and co-founder of Aptos Labs, has officially joined the company as a strategic advisor to support its Web3 strategy and institutional expansion. With Mo's extensive experience and industry insights, Klickl will further strengthen its position as an open finance payment infrastructure and emerge as a leader in the PayFi space.
As a seasoned entrepreneur and visionary in the blockchain industry, Mo Shaikh played a pivotal role in establishing Aptos as the most trusted Layer 1 blockchain for institutions. Under his leadership, Aptos successfully attracted top-tier stablecoins such as Tether (USDT) and Circle (USDC), and facilitated key institutional collaborations including:
l BUIDL launched by BlackRock via Securitize
l Benji by Franklin Templeton
l The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA)'s eHKD+ pilot
l The digital asset white paper jointly released by Invesco and BCG
These initiatives not only elevated Aptos' standing within the industry but also established it as a benchmark for institutional blockchain adoption.
In addition, Mo brings deep industry expertise from his work on Meta’s Diem project, ConsenSys, BlackRock, and Meridio—the U.S.’s first securities tokenization platform. During his time at BCG, he provided digital asset consulting services to multiple central banks, further building valuable industry connections and insights.
Commenting on Klickl’s Web3 payment vision, Mo Shaikh said: “Web3 payments today are stuck—too fragmented and untrustworthy for institutions, yet too clunky and unscalable for users. Klickl solves this with unique regulatory licenses, Aptos-powered efficiency, and a vision for seamless open finance. I’ve spent my career bridging TradFi and Web3, and now I’ll help Klickl build a payment backbone that both institutions and users can trust. The transformation has begun—stay tuned.”
Michael Zhao, CEO of Klickl, expressed excitement about Mo’s appointment: “We are thrilled to have Mo join us. His insight and leadership will help bridge the gap between Web2 traditional finance and Web3-native finance. With his addition, we now have all the critical pieces in place to build truly breakthrough products.”
Under Mo’s strategic guidance, Klickl will redefine digital payments in Web3, unlocking new opportunities for global institutions and users alike, and collectively shaping the future of compliant, scalable, and seamless crypto payments.
