Okcoin Adds Banking Industry Veterans to Leadership as Institutional Demand Continues to Grow

“Onboarding a wide range of institutions onto Okcoin’s platform at scale requires a deep understanding of financial markets, and we’re pleased to have hired three banking industry veterans to lead the effort,”
said Simon Ren, Executive Vice President of Institutional Business at Okcoin.

“Tom Gould, Iskandar Vanblarcum, and Paul Goldman each possess the investing prowess and business acumen to elevate Okcoin’s institutional offering on a global level.”
