Bitcoin.com Welcomes New CEO
Bitcoin.com has announced the appointment of Stefan Rust as the new chief executive officer of the company. He joined the team six months ago as the Global Head of Corporate & Business Development. To make room for the new CEO, Roger Ver will continue his important work for the company under the new title of Executive Chairman of Bitcoin.com.
“I’m hugely excited to take on the role of CEO working alongside Roger. Together we can now turbocharge the awesome team and great brand that is Bitcoin.com,” commented Stefan. “We will play an integral part in making money work for everybody as society undergoes such an enormous and pivotal change. It’s going to be a wild ride, so don’t miss it!”
Bitcoin.com continues to innovate with new products and services for cryptocurrency users. For example, in June we unveiled peer-to-peer bitcoin cash marketplace Local.Bitcoin.com and in September will launch the trading platform Exchange.Bitcoin.com with over 50 trading pairs. Having another experienced business leader at the helm will help the company stay on this path and accelerate its progress.
