In a significant move signaling its ambition to strengthen its leadership, Crossover Markets, a pioneering firm specializing in digital asset trading technology, has announced the appointment of Kevin Wolf as its new Chief Financial Officer (CFO). This strategic decision is set against a backdrop of increasing activity and innovation within the cryptocurrency markets and Crossover's determination to meet the specific liquidity needs of institutional clients.
Kevin Wolf, who has been a board member at Crossover Markets since June 2024, comes to this role with a wealth of experience spanning over 25 years in the financial sector, particularly in capital markets with a focus on fixed income, currencies, and commodities (FICC). Prior to joining Crossover, Wolf served as CFO at the American Financial Exchange, playing a key role in the company's acquisition by Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) earlier in January 2025. His extensive background also includes prestigious roles as a board member and CEO at Euronext FX, formerly known as FastMatch, as well as significant positions at Eris Exchange, Bank of America, and Lehman Brothers. He holds an undergraduate degree from the University of Pennsylvania and an MBA from Columbia Business School.
Brandon Mulvihill, the Co-Founder and CEO of Crossover Markets, expressed strong confidence in Wolf’s capabilities, stating, "Kevin brings tremendous experience and continuity to our executive team after having been a Board Director for the past year. Given market dynamics, we aim to expedite our growth across jurisdictions while remaining opportunistic with our corporate strategy. Kevin immediately covers these bases and further deepens our managerial capacity. ”
Reflecting on his new role, Wolf remarked, "Crossover is uniquely positioned in the market with its cutting-edge technology and market model specifically tailored for institutions. I’ve witnessed the team’s innovation firsthand, and I’m excited to take on a more active role in driving the company’s next phase of growth." His appointment is timely, aligning with the accelerating adoption of cryptocurrency by global financial institutions, suggesting that his expertise will be instrumental in shaping not only Crossover's strategic direction but also its financial strategies and risk management protocols.
Crossover Markets itself is at the forefront of digital asset trading, specifically targeting institutional liquidity requirements within the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Its CROSSx platform operates as an execution-only Electronic Communication Network (ECN), designed with a robust matching engine that allows clients to determine their trading partners. This model is enhanced by the firm's commitment to innovation, which is backed by a team of experts with extensive experience in FX trading, prime brokerage technology, and artificial intelligence.
As the crypto markets continue to evolve, Crossover Markets aims to ride the wave of institutional investment and engagement with these digital assets. The appointment of a seasoned professional like Kevin Wolf is a clear signal of the company’s proactive approach in adapting to market trends and capitalizing on growth opportunities. With his leadership, Crossover Markets is poised to not only enhance its operational capabilities but to significantly contribute to the broader integration of cryptocurrency in institutional finance.
