Cryptocurrency custodian Copper has announced the appointment of Tammy Weinrib as its new chief compliance officer and Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) officer for the Americas, according to a company press release issued Monday.

Before moving into cryptocurrency, she built a career in traditional finance, working at Wall Street bank Citi (C), The Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), and Standard Chartered (STAN).

The decision was part of the company's strategic shift to focus on markets such as the US, Europe and the Middle East.
