<a href="https://www.gsr.io/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">GSR</a>, a firm specialized in cryptocurrency trading and market making, made a splashy hiring move this week when it brought in former JPMorgan executive Andreas Koukorinis to be its new head of trading.&nbsp;
Koukorinis is no stranger to the cryptocurrency world. Before becoming JPMorgan’s global head of credit and electronic trading for fixed income and commodities ETFs, he ventured into the crypto space by founding a sports betting startup.&nbsp;
This venture caught the attention of Blockchain.com, which acquired the company in 2018.

It is becoming increasingly common for professionals to transition from traditional banking to the cryptocurrency industry.&nbsp;
Last week, crypto exchange Bitget said a third of its applicants came from the traditional banking sector.&nbsp;
The most common reasons for making the switch were better pay and the sector’s innovativeness, Bitget said.
Asked about his trading strategy, Koukorinis hinted at an interest in blue-chip cryptos.&nbsp;
“GSR has had a lot of success in altcoins. One of the first things we’ll be looking at is how we can build on this success and develop the same capabilities in the majors,” Koukorinis said.&nbsp;

Former UK chancellor George Osborne became the latest addition to Coinbase’s global advisory council this week.&nbsp;
Osborne handled the UK’s financial and economic policies from 2010 until 2016.&nbsp;
He joins a bipartisan group of mostly-American political and national security figures that Coinbase previously said would help the exchange “examine what consequences will result from regulatory uncertainty for crypto in the United States.”
Among these regulatory uncertainties is Coinbase’s ongoing spat with the US Securities and Exchange Commission, which alleges some tokens listed by Coinbase were unregistered securities.
