Several senior executives from JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs join blockchain companies

Rage Comment : Despite the constant rumors about DAH's financing, DAH seems to have never stopped its rapid expansion. In addition to continuously acquiring and merging multiple blockchain startups, it is also using Masters' influence on Wall Street to continuously recruit talents on Wall Street. For the blockchain industry, the most lacking is elite talents who can deeply understand both blockchain and capital markets, and it seems that DAH has a unique advantage in this regard.

Digital Asset Holdings (DAH) is a New York-based startup led by former JPMorgan Chase executive Blythe Master. It has added more than 20 people to its team, most of whom come from the world's largest financial institutions and have extensive experience.

Today, DAH announced that it has hired Justin Amos, formerly managing director of NICE Actimize and head of client connectivity services at JPMorgan Chase, and Edward Newsman, formerly vice president of enterprise systems management at JPMorgan Chase.

NICE Actimize is the world's largest and most comprehensive provider of financial crime prevention, risk and compliance solutions.

Amos will be responsible for opening DAH's European office, while Newman will serve as a senior software developer.

According to the announcement, DAH CEO Blythe Masters hopes that through this announcement, they will show their commitment to protecting their customers and emphasize their strategy of shifting to the European market.

Master said,

“I am very excited to welcome Justin and Edword to our rapidly growing team, especially as the financial services industry places a premium on technology risk management.”

The startup has announced it has raised about $35 million in funding and has joined the Open Ledger Project, a business-focused open source blockchain effort run by the Linux Foundation.

Founded in 2014, DAH targets markets including syndicated lending, U.S. Treasury repo, foreign exchange, securities tranches and derivatives, providing them with encrypted blockchain software for asset settlement.

A recent report by Aite Group mentioned that DAH will expand its business to include digital currencies, payments, public offerings and transaction reporting.
