According to the announcement shared with Bitcoin.com News, Wintermute’s New York office will anchor its North American operations, focusing on partnerships with U.S.-based financial institutions and crypto exchanges. Wintermute cited the city’s status as a financial hub and evolving U.S. digital asset regulations as key factors in its expansion.

Hammond, previously senior director of government relations at the Blockchain Association, will lead federal and state policy engagement. He authored bipartisan crypto legislation, including the Token Taxonomy Act, during his tenure on Capitol Hill. Wintermute stated his hiring reflects its intent to shape U.S. digital asset regulations.

CEO Evgeny Gaevoy remarked that the firm aims to leverage its “policy-agnostic” market expertise to engage lawmakers. Wintermute recently met with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s Crypto Task Force and plans to expand its advocacy efforts under Hammond’s leadership.

The company further noted it is also hiring for business development and operational roles in the U.S. to support OTC trading and institutional partnerships. Wintermute said it averages around $15 billion in daily trading volume and provides liquidity across more than 60 crypto exchanges and traditional platforms like CME. The announcement follows increased U.S. regulatory clarity for digital assets.
