Ex-Gemini, Kraken Exec Appointed As CEO Of Crypto Advocacy Group
Ji Hun Kim has been appointed as the permanent CEO of the Crypto Council for Innovation (CCI) after serving as acting CEO since December 2024 following Sheila Warren's departure. Kim, who has a legal background and previously held roles at cryptocurrency exchanges Gemini and Kraken, expressed his commitment to bridging technology and public policy in the evolving crypto landscape. The CCI acts as a key advocacy organization engaging with policymakers on digital asset regulations. Recently, the US House of Representatives passed three crucial crypto-related bills addressing issues such as central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and market structure, with further Senate discussions expected after August. Kim's leadership comes at a time of significant legislative shifts in the crypto sector, underscoring the importance of informed dialogue in policymaking.
