Crypto COO Takes a Hilarious Leap Back to TradFi – You Won’t Believe What Happened!

by

What to know:

  • Samuel Howe, the COO of Zodia Custody, has pulled a Houdini and vanished from the crypto scene!
  • In his place, we have the new guy, Sam Hill, who’s been lurking around for 18 months. Hope he brought snacks!

So, Samuel Howe, the big cheese at Zodia Custody, has decided to trade in his crypto cape for a suit and tie in the world of traditional finance (TradFi). Who knew finance could be so… traditional? 🎩

He was only COO for three months—just long enough to learn where the coffee machine is! Before that, he was the head honcho of operations at the crypto custodian. Talk about a short-lived reign! 👑

CEO Julian Sawyer sent out an email saying, “Sam has left the company to go back to traditional finance. This shows the wild rollercoaster of roles between crypto and TradFi.” I mean, who doesn’t love a good ride? 🎢

And guess what? Howe didn’t even bother to respond to our request for a comment. Maybe he’s too busy counting his new TradFi dollars! 💸

Before his grand exit from Zodia Custody, Howe was the crypto operations guru at hedge fund GSA Capital. He also played the capital markets game at CoinShares (CS). Talk about a résumé that could fill a book! 📚

He even had a stint at banking giants like HSBC and Kleinwort Hambros. I guess he just couldn’t resist the siren call of the crypto world… until now! 🎶

Oh, and did I mention he co-founded a private crypto hedge fund in 2020? He’s still giving advice there, probably while sipping a piña colada on a beach somewhere! 🍹

Zodia Custody is backed by some heavy hitters: Standard Chartered Bank (STAN), SBI Group, Northern Trust, and National Australia Bank (NAB). So, they’re not exactly hurting for cash! 💰
