B2C2, the London-based provider of institutional liquidity and credit for digital assets, is expanding its presence in the Asia-Pacific region with new services in Singapore. The move builds on the company’s existing operations in Japan and other financial centers.
As part of this expansion, B2C2 announced that it will apply for a Major Payment Institution License from the Monetary Authority of Singapore.
Backed by Japanese financial services group SBI, B2C2 offers institutional investors trust, deep liquidity, competitive pricing and market-leading settlement services.
The company has offices in London, Paris, Luxembourg, New Jersey, Tokyo and now Singapore.
David Rogers, a 24-year veteran in digital assets and traditional finance, will serve as CEO for Asia Pacific and lead the company’s B2C2 expansion in the region.
Rogers previously served as Chief Operating Officer at an algorithmic trading and market making firm specializing in digital assets, and has also held senior roles at State Street Global Advisors and UBS in the Asia-Pacific region.
