Dmitry Tokarev, chief executive officer, Copper, said: I am very pleased to welcome Jake as the newest member of our team. I believe that his strong security credentials and understanding of the direction in which crypto is moving make him a perfect fit for the role. With Copper continuously evolving our product suite and offering, Jakes expertise will be crucial as we look to ensure that our security continues to set an industry standard.

Rogers added: I am thrilled to join Copper as its chief information security officer. In the past few years, there has been a major, fundamental shift in the publics attitudes toward free and open systems, especially in banking and finance. Crypto is becoming mainstream and with new technology being developed rapidly in this space, it has demonstrated real potential to replace traditional banking and finance with something far freer, more equal and democratic.
