The cryptocurrency portfolio provider Blockchain recently hired its first Chief Financial Officer (CFO), according to the LinkedIn profile of Macrina Kgil, which joined the company in November of this year.
As reported for the first time by The Information, Kgil was the CFO of the Springleaf Financial Services loan company when the company made public in 2013 and also worked as CFO at GPB Capital, an asset management company, from 2016 to 2018 .
According to Blockchain's CEO, Peter Smith confirmed the rental during an interview, and revealed that Kgil would be instrumental to the crypto-enterprise that is about to become public "in the coming years".
Founded in 2011, Blockchain is one of the most important companies linked to cryptocurrency. At the start of this year it has exceeded the milestone of the 25 million portfolio, and currently has over 30 million users and 150 employees.
The former has, according to its website, processed over 100 million transactions and is currently present in 140 countries. As covered by CryptoGlobe, Blockchain launched an over-the-counter (OTC) trading desk in late September, in a move designed to allow users to make big traders outside of public cryptocurrency exchanges
Last month, it launched the "biggest airdrop in the history of cryptography" by giving $ 125 million in Stellar Lumens (XLM) to users who passed customer controls (KYC), which made it controversial inside of the crypto community. At the moment, the company announced:
For the first time ever, we are giving a total of $ 125 million to our users in the form of XLM. All Blockchain users must log in to their wallets (or register if they do not yet have a Blockchain Wallet) and verify their identities.
The progress of Blockchain this year has not stopped here. The company has also launched a Ledger hardware portfolio, which allows users to store their cryptoassets in an easy and secure way. At the time, Smith revealed that the company has processed over $ 200 billion in consumer encryption transactions over the past two years and that its users store "millions" of BTC, BCH and ETH on its platform.
