Golden Finance reported that crypto market maker Wintermute announced that it will set up its US headquarters in downtown New York on June 1, which is its first office in the United States. Wintermute CEO Evgeny Gaevoy said: "As the United States' policies toward digital assets and blockchain innovation become more friendly, we decided to act quickly and take root in New York City, the world's financial capital." In addition, Wintermute appointed policy veteran Ron Hammond as director of policy and advocacy. Hammond was previously the senior director of government relations at the Blockchain Association and was the head of financial services policy for Republican Congressman Warren Davidson. "As the US regulatory environment becomes more constructive, we see huge opportunities to promote responsible innovation and deepen engagement with policymakers and industry stakeholders," he said.
