He is expected to take charge on October 6, but it is still subject to FINMA approval.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Newns is joining the SIX Group subsidiary at a crucial time. The company is awaiting regulatory approval that will allow it to launch its cryptocurrency operations. The challenge in front of him will be to grow SDX\u2019s operations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cOnce we receive regulatory approval we will need to be ready to ramp up operations, client onboarding and deployment,\u201d Thomas Zeeb, SDX Chair and a Member of the SIX Board, said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cWe have received the draft FMI licenses for SIX Digital Exchange AG and SDX Trading AG from FINMA and have responded within the consultation period with no concerns or issues so that we expect the formalization of the licenses to follow shortly.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span>A Capital Markets Expert<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span>Newns is an expert in the capital markets and has hands-on experience in managing trading platforms. He spent the last 15 years of his career at State Street with his most recent experience being the bank\u2019s Global Head of Global Link Execution Services. There, he headed the other platforms like FXConnect and Currenex.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>He spent the early years of his career at the business intelligence firm, MicroStrategy as an eBusiness Development Manager.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Meanwhile, Grant is leaving SDX to become the head of Galaxy Digital\u2019s European division. Interestingly, Newns will be the third CEO of SDX since last January.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cI thoroughly enjoyed working with Tim and his team at SDX and now look forward to working with David as we take SDX into the next stage of maturity and development,\u201d Zeeb added. \u201cDavid brings with him the background and experience to take us forward and extend the reach of the SDX platform throughout the industry.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.financemagnates.com\/executives\/moves\/six-digital-exchange-hires-state-streets-david-newns-as-new-ceo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SIX Digital Exchange (SDX), which provides infrastructure<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":135470,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
