Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase has scored a major hire ahead of its long-anticipated public listing.
According to a report by the Wall Street Journal, Brett Redfearn, a former director at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, will now spearhead the exchange's capital-markets division.
Prior to joining the agency, Redfearn had spent 13 years at American banking giant JPMorgan. He believes that blockchain technology will help to level the playing-field for retail investors:
I believe that a digitized trading ecosystem can help democratize retail investors’ ability to access our capital markets on a fair and level playing field.
