New role to lead GTN’s tokenisation strategy as more platforms bring traditional assets on-chain
DUBAI, UAE, Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — GTN, the global fintech powering limitless investment, today announced the appointment of Mark Jennings as global head of digital assets. Mark will lead GTN’s strategy to support tokenised securities through its global market access.
Mark joins GTN from Gemini, where, as CEO of Gemini Europe, he led the exchange’s European expansion. Before that, he held senior roles at Kraken, including CEO of Crypto Facilities, its FCA-regulated derivatives venue for institutional clients.
Manjula Jayasinghe, GTN’s co-founder and group CEO, said: ‘We are seeing growing demand for tokenised securities, where investors can trade traditional assets on-chain, 24/7, with real-time settlement, and we expect this trend to accelerate in the years ahead. With our industry-leading multi-market, multi-asset coverage, we are well positioned to help platforms bridge traditional and digital markets. Mark brings substantial experience from the digital assets industry and will lead our efforts with the right technology, partnerships and regulatory approach.’
Mark said: ‘Tokenisation is one of the most significant shifts in market infrastructure in decades. At Gemini and Kraken, I saw first-hand users’ demand for traditional assets alongside crypto, and the complexity of delivering them in a robust, compliant and scalable way. GTN has already done the difficult work to connect to markets and asset classes. That puts us in a unique position to take a leading role in helping platforms bring those assets on-chain. I’m excited to lead that work with platforms across the ecosystem to bring tokenised securities to their users.’
Mark’s appointment follows GTN’s hire of former Saxo Bank executive Daniel Endler as its first group chief product officer in October. Together, the two appointments strengthen GTN’s senior leadership as it expands its offering for financial institutions and digital asset platforms.
