Wintermute Storms into U.S. Market with New York HQ!

Hold onto your hats, crypto fans! Wintermute just dropped a bombshell by launching its New York City headquarters. They're not messing around—the U.S. market is their new playground!

And guess who they've brought on board? None other than Ron Hammond as their Head of Policy and Advocacy. This guy's a policy wizard, folks!

Hammond's no newbie—he was the Senior Director of Government Relations at the Blockchain Association and has been shaping policy for nearly a decade. He even penned the Token Taxonomy Act while working on Capitol Hill. Talk about a powerhouse addition to the team!

Wintermute's not just here for a good time; they're here to make a massive impact on digital asset regulations in the U.S. They're ready to shake things up!

"With the regulatory climate in the U.S. becoming more constructive, we see tremendous opportunity to foster responsible innovation," Hammond declared. This guy's on a mission!

He's set to dive headfirst into the policy world, engaging with federal and state policymakers, industry groups, and regulators like the SEC. Wintermute's already been chatting with them, so you know they mean business.

US-based partners

CEO Evgeny Gaevoy isn't holding back either. He says the New York office is all about supporting their U.S.-based partners and providing top-notch OTC services right here on home turf.

Gaevoy's clear about their approach: "policy-neutral." But don't think that means they're sitting on the sidelines. Wintermute's actively expanding their U.S. team, planning to add five to ten more rockstars to their already impressive 130-person global crew.

This U.S. move comes hot on the heels of their Singapore office opening in late 2024. Wintermute's on a global rampage, handling over $15 billion in daily trading volume and providing liquidity across 60+ exchanges. They're unstoppable!

And the timing? Perfect. The crypto sector's buzzing with optimism about regulatory clarity under the Trump administration. Wintermute's positioning itself right at the center of this evolving landscape, ready to shape the future. Buckle up, folks—this is just the beginning!
