‘Crypto Dad’ Takes the Reins at Sygnum—Because Banks Need Blockchain Cred Now
Former CFTC chairman J. Christopher Giancarlo—aka ‘Crypto Dad’ for his 2018 congressional testimony defending Bitcoin—just landed at Swiss crypto bank Sygnum. Because nothing says ‘legitimacy’ like a regulator cashing in on the industry he once oversaw.
Sygnum, already licensed in Singapore and Switzerland, gets a heavyweight lobbyist-turned-advocate as institutional crypto demand surges. Giancarlo’s move proves even the old guard sees the writing on the wall: adapt or get rekt.
Bonus jab: Guess those revolving-door ethics seminars didn’t cover ‘how to monetize your regulatory Rolodex.’
