3iQ Appoints Christophe Racine as Head of Business Development for Switzerland and DACH Region
3iQ Corp., a global leader in institutional digital asset investment solutions, has announced a significant milestone in its expansion strategy with the appointment of Christophe Racine as the new Head of Business Development for Switzerland, an important area within the DACH region, which also includes Germany, Austria, and Liechtenstein.
Christophe brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to his new role, having nearly three decades of experience in sales, distribution, and business development across investment management, private banking, and wealth management sectors. Most notably, Christophe's recent tenure at SIX Digital Exchange (SDX), one of Europe's foremost stock exchanges, prepared him well for the complexities of digital asset management, particularly in creating robust financial infrastructure solutions.
His past roles at several notable Swiss cantonal banks further solidify his qualifications. Christophe's deep expertise has been cultivated through notable positions at Swisscanto Asset Management and UBS, where he honed his skills in asset and wealth management.
Pascal St-Jean, President and CEO of 3iQ, remarked on the significance of Christophe's appointment, highlighting the firm’s commitment to identifying exceptional talent within traditional finance sectors. His experience is seen as a substantial asset as 3iQ continues its ambitious global ambitions, especially in the DACH region, which is key to their international growth strategy.
"We aim to provide regulated digital asset investment products to investors worldwide, and having a professional of Christophe’s caliber in our team is crucial to achieving this goal," stated St-Jean. His extensive background in private banking and investment management positions him perfectly to enhance 3iQ's market reach and offerings in Europe.
In response to his new position, Christophe expressed enthusiasm for the future of alternative investment solutions, asserting that 3iQ is positioned for substantial growth in this area. He looks forward to establishing 3iQ's presence firmly within the Swiss and broader European markets, leveraging the company's established reputation as an award-winning leader in innovative digital asset investments.
Founded in 2012, 3iQ has continually pushed the boundaries of digital asset management. It pioneered the first Digital Assets Managed Account Platform (QMAP), offering cutting-edge investment solutions designed to mitigate risk while enabling exposure to digital assets. The firm made headlines as the first to launch a Bitcoin and Ethereum ETP on a major global stock exchange and introduced staking into its Ethereum and Solana ETPs to enhance investor returns. Furthermore, in 2024, Monex Group, a leading financial entity based in Japan, acquired a majority stake in 3iQ, further bolstering its capabilities in the digital asset sphere.
As the digital asset landscape evolves, the integration of advanced investment strategies and a strong leadership team will be crucial for firms looking to thrive. 3iQ’s commitment to innovation and growth continues with Ratine’s leadership in the DACH region likely to play a pivotal role in their global vision for comprehensive investor services.
