The Association for
Digital Asset Markets (ADAM), a private, non-profit, membership-based
association of firms operating in the digital asset markets, has appointed
former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) officer, Mike Castiglione, as Chair of
its new National Security Working Group.
Castiglione is also the
Director of Regulatory Affairs, Digital Assets, at Eventus, a provider of
multi-asset class trade surveillance and market risk solutions.
The association said it
created the working group to serve as a bridge between the public and private
sectors.
The group is also seeking to be the “go-to resource for the executive and legislative branches to interface
with industry experts on blockchain national security issues.”
ADAM, which appointed its first Chief Executive Officer (CEO) two years ago, said its Board of Directors (B of D) approved Castiglione’s selection based on his broad
national security experience.
The B of D is also said to have considered Eventus’ “industry-leading technology in trade
surveillance, risk monitoring and transaction monitoring for digital assets.”
Michelle Bond, ADAM’s
CEO, believes that Castiglione’s experience will enable the
association to continue public-private information sharing to the utmost
degree.
“ADAM has a very deep
bench, and we know Mike will add to this, leveraging his experience to guide
the working group,” Bond said.
Digital Asset Security
In his reaction to his
appointment, Castiglione described public-private partnerships as a cornerstone
of sound regulation, adding that the practice encourages rapid adoption of
emerging technologies.
“ADAM members are
positioned to learn from each other and to build the next suite of products
that advances digital assets,” he added.
On his part, Joseph
Schifano, Eventus’ Global Head of Regulatory Affairs, praised Castiglione’s
appointment.
He said: “Mike has
delivered clear, objective insights on national security challenges during a
15-year career in the U.S. federal government.
“Eventus is proud to
play a role in this working group – which will be a key resource to government
and the industry alike – and to collaborate with other experts throughout
ADAM’s membership to ensure digital asset markets are safe and trusted.”
Meanwhile, Trading Technologies, a provider of professional trading software, last month chose Nick Garrow, the former Global Head of IT and Operations at Societe Generale (SG) Prime Services in London, to lead its expansion into new asset classes.
CEO Keith Todd had said Garrow was bringing “vision, leadership and tremendous talent and knowledge to this important management role.”
