Julius Baer onboards crypto veteran amid broad reorganization

Despite its broader cost-cutting push, Julius Baer appears to be signaling an ongoing focus on digital assets with a key crypto hire. Swiss wealth management group Julius Baer is cutting costs under its new CEO Stefan Bollinger, but the bank seems to be keeping an interest in digital assets by hiring crypto specialist Michael Martin, who has joined as a client advisor in Zurich, focusing on digital assets. In a LinkedIn announcement , Martin said he’ll be advising clients “with needs in the area of digital assets.” “I look forward to supporting our clients — whether they value our deep experience and trust, seek best-in-class advisory, or aim to explore the exciting opportunities that digital assets present.” Michael Martin You might also like: Swiss cantonal bank starts offering Cardano and Avalanche to meet increased demand Martin has been in the crypto space for a long time, getting his start in 2014 at Kimura Capital, a London-based provider of trade finance credit for commodities.
