Wintermute to establish US headquarters in New York, appoints Ron Hammond as policy director

Odaily News Crypto market maker Wintermute announced that it will set up its US headquarters in downtown New York on June 1, its first office in the United States. As the US policy becomes more friendly to digital assets and blockchain innovation, we decided to move quickly and take root in New York City, the worlds financial capital, said Evgeny Gaevoy, CEO of Wintermute. In addition, Wintermute appointed policy veteran Ron Hammond as director of policy and advocacy. Hammond was previously senior director of government relations at the Blockchain Association and was head of financial services policy for Republican Congressman Warren Davidson. As the US regulatory environment becomes more constructive, we see tremendous opportunities to promote responsible innovation and deepen engagement with policymakers and industry stakeholders, he said.
