B2C2, a cryptocurrency market-maker owned by Japan’s SBI Holdings, announced on Monday the appointment of Nicola White as the Chief Executive Officer of its US entity. She is replacing Rob Catalanello, who led the US operations from March 2019 and is now parting with the company.

“I’m delighted to be leading our US operations and look forward to working with the global team to build out B2C2’s already significant capabilities in electronic trading across spot and derivatives,” White said.

“We will continue to create innovative solutions to meet the needs of our diverse, fast-growing institutional client base.”

Kept Control in Experienced Hands

White is an insider who joined B2C2 US last July as the company’s President. She brought in a lot of financial industry experience to the cryptocurrency market maker.

Before joining B2C2, she was with Citidal Securities for five years. There, she was the global COO of fixed income and played a crucial role in establishing the company’s fixed income institutional market-making business.

She started her career and spent 13 long years with Morgan Stanley, holding several executive positions related to fixed income. During her tenure at the company, she automated fixed-income trading.

B2C2’s Founder, Max Boonen said: “I have been impressed by Nicola since she joined B2C2 and congratulate her on the new role. She is smart, accomplished and driven – it’s a pleasure to work with her. I also want to thank Rob, who I hired personally three years ago, for the time spent together and for having helped grow our market share.”

Meanwhile, B2C2 has become a big name in the crypto over-the-counter (OTC) and market-making space. Furthermore, it was acquired by Japanese giant, SBI Holdings, at the end of 2020, only five months after the conglomerate made an initial investment of $30 million in the crypto company.
