According to CoinDesk, Marco Santori, who has long been a professional lawyer in the cryptocurrency industry, has become president and director of Blockchain's legal department. The development of new company policies, as well as issues of its expansion, will take place under his jurisdiction.
Nicholas Carey, who previously served as President of Blockchain, will now occupy the position of Vice President and will work with public relations.
Recall that Marco Santori has been working in the cryptocurrency industry for a long time. At the very beginning of his “crypto career”, he advised representatives of startups. In November 2016, Marco became a partner at the law firm Cooley LLP. There he worked with corporate blockchains and the ICO sphere. At this time, Santori acted as a co-author of the SAFT concept (a model that complies with all US legal and financial standards and is aimed at raising funds).
Santori explains his departure from Cooley LLP by the fact that this is not the business that he would like to do all his life. He noted that he worked with the company only for the ICO.
Peter Smith, CEO of Blockchain, believes that Mark Santori will play a strategically important role and help solve not only legal but also corporate problems.
In January, Bitcoin wallet Blockchain.info launched a service for currency transactions in the United States.
