Breaking: Centrifuge Snags Ex-Goldman Sachs Heavyweight as COO to Supercharge Tokenization Push

Tokenization powerhouse Centrifuge just made a Wall Street power play—hiring a former Goldman Sachs exec as COO to bridge TradFi and DeFi.
Why it matters: When legacy finance brass defect to crypto, it’s not just a career move—it’s a referendum on the future of assets. Even Goldman alumni are tired of 1% yields.
The strategy: This isn’t about adding suits to the C-suite. Centrifuge wants institutional-grade execution for its real-world asset tokenization pipeline—because somebody needs to clean up the mess left by overhyped NFT projects.
The punchline: The COO’s first order of business? Probably explaining to ex-colleagues why a tokenized treasury bill beats their 1998-era spreadsheet models.
