DV Trading named John Kim to lead a newly formed discretionary crypto team in Singapore, adding a strategy-focused unit to an operation previously centered on market making.
The team will operate through DV Chain, DV Trading’s crypto business. Market making has been the main activity of the operation since it began in 2016. The wider firm employs over 600 people.
Kim joined Laser Digital, Nomura’s digital asset division, in October 2025 and handled derivatives trading there. Earlier, he led derivatives trading at Galaxy Digital for three years.
