“I’m delighted to take an executive role with ETC Group at this exciting time, where in just over a year they’ve already achieved global success attracting nearly $2 billion investment into their world leading crypto ETPs,” commented Bevan. “My role will be to help ETC Group scale up as we expand further into new territories, on new exchanges, and with new digital assets.”

Tim’s expertise in governance and trading will play a key part in our rapid expansion over the coming months especially given the ambitious nature of our plans”, commented Bradley Duke, co-Founder and co-CEO of ETC Group. “We’ve already benefited from his experience as a co-founder and in his role as a non-exec to the company, and am delighted to welcome him to this permanent role to help us drive further main-stream adoption of crypto ETPs”
