Former Wall Street regulator J. Christopher Giancarlo, dubbed CryptoDad by coin fans, has joined the blockchain-focused investment business CoinFund as an adviser. The former head of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, which controls much of the $610 trillion global derivatives market, Giancarlo will work with CoinFund’s management team to help digital assets gain ‘mainstream adoption,’ according to a business statement released Thursday. “With his track record, market reputation, and credentials, he will bring great value to CoinFund, our founders, and our portfolio of investments,” the firm’s president, Christopher Perkins, said in the statement. Giancarlo is also a senior attorney at Willkie Farr & Gallagher and just stepped down from the board of cryptocurrency lender BlockFi Inc. He joined the CFTC as a commissioner in 2014 and was promoted to chairman in 2017. He resigned in 2019.The post CoinFund Taps Ex-Wall Street Regulator CryptoDad as an Adviser appeared first on Cryptoknowmics-Crypto News and Media Platform.
