About LIRIUM
Lirium is a regulated blockchain and digital asset API platform headquartered in Vaduz, Liechtenstein at Äulestrasse 74, 9490. Founded in July 2020 by ex-Xapo co-founder and CEO Federico Murrone, Lirium provides white-label Crypto-as-a-Service solutions enabling financial institutions to offer cryptocurrency products without developing technical or compliance capabilities. The company was the first Liechtenstein startup accepted into Mastercard's Start Path Blockchain and Digital Assets program in September 2023. Lirium holds formal FMA approval under the Liechtenstein Blockchain Act for three core services: cryptocurrency exchange (buy/sell with fiat or crypto), pricing services (market maker), and token depository (qualified custody protecting customer funds from counterparty and bankruptcy risks). The team includes 11-50 employees with expertise from Xapo, HSBC, and Citi, distributed across Liechtenstein, Argentina, and Bolivia. Lirium serves banks, neobanks, fintechs, and digital wallets across 13+ countries in Latin America, Europe, and Africa. Notable clients include Banco Galicia (Argentina's largest private bank), Prex, Albo, Brubank, NaranjaX, and Mara Wallet (Coinbase Ventures-backed in Sub-Saharan Africa). The platform supports approximately 30 cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and stablecoins USDT and USDC for cross-border payments.
