David Martin’s appointment comes amidst institutions demanding regulated, capital-efficient venues that can bridge markets.
Institution-only global digital asset exchange AsiaNext appointed ex-FalconX David Martin as CEO of its derivatives business.
The prime broker executive brings more than 17 years of experience across investment management, fintech, and trading. At FalconX, he supported the launch of the firm as the first CFTC registered crypto swaps dealer, led global sales expansion, and scaled the company into a leading global prime broker.
“AsiaNext is shaping the future of institutional digital assets trading, with a clear path to leadership built on compliance, capital efficiency, and seamless connectivity with traditional finance—moving beyond the limitations of retrofitted retail platforms,” says David Newns, Head of SDX at SIX Group and member of AsiaNext’s Board of Directors.
“David’s appointment marks the beginning of our next phase of growth. His proven experience in leading teams through the crypto industry’s cycles of rapid expansion and volatility makes him exceptionally well placed to guide AsiaNext forward.”
