#ICYMI: We’re excited to welcome the latest addition to the Blockchain team, Michelle Bond as our Global Head of Policy.
As regulators and lawmakers continue to develop frameworks and guidance involving digital assets, actively engaging with policymakers and the government will be crucial. Michelle has significant experience engaging policymakers both in the United States and globally. She is a financial services lawyer, policy expert and former regulator. She was most recently the Deputy Head of Global Regulatory Affairs and Public Policy at Bloomberg LP, advising Bloomberg’s business on global financial regulation and evolving market structure.

She will leverage her deep expertise to provide regulatory and policy support for the creation of trading solutions and financial infrastructure as Blockchain builds out its product suite for institutional clients.
“Michelle has spent her entire career in law and policy, and I’m proud to welcome her to Blockchain where she will advocate for sound public policy in the digital asset space. In her new role, she will help to inform legislation and rulemaking initiatives and help foster innovation and growth in the industry,” said Marco Santori, President and Chief Legal Officer at Blockchain.
