Shopify COO: Expect Surprising Progress in Our Crypto Implementation
People will be surprised by the fast progress being made with crypto implementations at e-commerce platform Shopify, according to a senior executive at the company.
Writing on social media platform X on Sunday, Kaz Najatian, Vice President of Product and Chief Operating Officer (COO) at Shopify, described the crypto-related work being done internally at the company as “some of our best work right now.”
“In a couple of years people are going to be surprised how we move so fast, but that’s because of the work being done right now,” the Shopify executive wrote.
