Celyn Armstrong, general advice and leader of compliance with the Crypto Market Maker Portofino Technologies, is the latest senior staff member who left the firm.
He follows Mark Blackborough, the former head of the company’s financial official, who has recently been left the business.
“We are grateful to Celyn for her important role in developing regulatory infrastructure and compliance with Portofino. Her leadership has helped us obtain major licenses and promote strong controls that support our operations today,” a Portofino spokesman said in the comments.
“We are also pleased to accept Dilan Bastin as our new leader of obedience – his expertise will be very important as we continue to measure responsible for the entire global market.”
Armstrong, based in London and worked for the crypto trading firm for three years, refused to comment.
Prior to joining Portofino he worked for legal companies including dentons and linklaters. He also worked a UK financial service regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), for more than six years, according to his profile in LinkedIn.
In addition to Armstrong and Blackborough, Cristian Dinu, a volume developer, recently left the firm to join rival market manufacturer Optiver, according to his profile in Linkedin.
The Swiss company told CoinDesk last month that it was exploring the opening of new offices in New York and Singapore.
