Klickl Welcomes Mo Shaikh as Strategic Advisor to Accelerate Web3 Payment Innovation
Klickl and the KLK Foundation proudly announce that Mo Shaikh, former CEO and co-founder of Aptos Labs, has joined as a strategic advisor to support the company’s Web3 strategy and institutional expansion. With Mo’s guidance, Klickl aims to become the payment infrastructure of Open Finance, solidifying its position as a PayFi powerhouse.
As a seasoned entrepreneur and blockchain visionary, Mo was instrumental in shaping Aptos into the most institutionally trusted Layer 1 blockchain. Under his leadership, Tether’s USDT and Circle’s USDC launched on Aptos, and he played a key role in securing institutional partnerships such as BlackRock’s BUIDL via Securitize, Franklin Templeton’s Benji, HKMA’s eHKD+ pilot, Invesco-BCG whitepaper on digital assets, and many more initiatives that positioned Aptos as a key player in institutional adoption.
