About the job

Requirements
  • Deep, hands-on traditional finance experience with settlement systems, post-trade flows, and the full institutional trade lifecycle, including custody, clearing, settlement, and reconciliation.
  • Equally deep, hands-on experience with digital asset or blockchain infrastructure, including tokenization, on-chain settlement, and digital custody; experience in only traditional finance or only digital assets is insufficient.
  • Proven experience as a Product Owner or Product Lead who has shipped complex, regulated financial infrastructure, rather than consumer or generic business-to-business products.
  • Real depth as a specialist in at least one domain, with depth valued more than broad generalist experience.
  • Client-facing experience with Tier-1 financial institutions, including credibility in working sessions with engineers and briefings with senior stakeholders.
  • Ability and willingness to challenge requirements, assumptions, and senior stakeholders when the details do not hold up.
  • Ability to translate ambiguous, cross-functional institutional requirements into structured specifications engineering teams can build against.
  • Experience partnering closely with technical leadership on vision and strategy, not only backlog execution.
Responsibilities
  • Partner with DIS leads on product vision and strategy for custom build engagements, owning prioritization and direction from concept through delivery.
  • Serve as the team's specialist on settlement, clearing, and post-trade flows across traditional finance and digital assets, applying current knowledge of the institutional trade lifecycle—including custody, settlement cycles, corporate actions, and reconciliation—and its on-chain translation to requirements.
  • Translate institutional and regulatory requirements into clear, buildable specifications and acceptance criteria that engineering can execute with minimal rework.
  • Run discovery and requirements sessions with client stakeholders, from engineers to senior operations and technology leaders, and define success in client terms.
  • Challenge client and team ideas and assumptions by testing requirements against how traditional finance infrastructure operates and what must change for digital assets.
  • Partner closely with the Architect and engineering leads to ensure product decisions are technically sound and stay involved in details when needed.
  • Represent the client internally and the roadmap externally, keeping delivery and client expectations aligned as requirements evolve.
  • Champion thoughtful adoption of AI tools to improve team performance, decision-making, and output quality.
Desired Qualifications
  • Background at a custodian, clearinghouse, prime broker, or other post-trade infrastructure provider on the traditional finance side, or at a digital asset custodian or exchange on the crypto side.
  • Formal product management experience inside a regulated fintech or capital markets environment.
  • Fluency in payments rails and trading systems alongside settlement.
  • Experience personally leading a build that connected a traditional finance institution to digital asset rails, such as a tokenization pilot or on-chain settlement project.

Galaxy plans to expand its presence in Japan, intends to appoint Shingo Ide as Chief Partnership Officer for Japan.

Galaxy plans to expand its presence in Japan, intends to appoint Shingo Ide as Chief Partnership Officer for Japan. NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, October 12, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ - Christopher Ferraro, President and Chief Investment Officer of global digital asset and financial services company Galaxy Digital Inc. (GLXY, hereinafter "Galaxy"), recently held in-depth discussions with Japanese market research veteran Shingo Ide on developments in Japan's financial markets, institutional partnerships, and long-term opportunities in the digital asset industry. Under the proposed partnership, Galaxy intends to appoint Ide as Chief Partnership Officer for Japan to help expand the company's local partnership network and support its long-term development in the market. Focusing on Japan and Strengthening International Financial Cooperation Japan is one of Asia's leading financial centers, with mature capital markets, a broad institutional investor base, and a well-established financial regulatory framework. As financial technology and the digital asset industry continue to develop, Japan is becoming an increasingly important market for international financial institutions. Headquartered in New York, Galaxy operates across global markets, asset management, and digital infrastructure, working to strengthen connections between traditional finance and digital asset markets. The proposed partnership aims to combine Galaxy's international financial expertise with Ide's deep understanding of Japan's capital markets. It seeks to expand institutional partnerships, connect financial industry resources, and create more opportunities for engagement with professional investors, laying the groundwork for Galaxy to explore opportunities in Japan. Proposed Japan Chief Partnership Officer Role to Support Collaboration Across Multiple Areas Under the partnership framework currently being discussed, Ide would primarily assist Galaxy in strengthening relationships with Japanese financial institutions, asset management firms, professional investors, and relevant industry partners. The collaboration would focus on connecting institutional resources, investor education, capital market research, dialogue between digital asset and traditional financial businesses, and cross-border financial cooperation. Both parties hope to establish ongoing communication channels that bring international financial services expertise together with local market needs, gradually exploring partnership models suited to Japan. Christopher Ferraro: Recognizing Japan's Long-Term Partnership Potential Ferraro said Japan is one of the world's major financial markets, supported by a mature financial sector, a sophisticated investor base, and a growing financial technology ecosystem. He noted that Galaxy recognizes Japan's long-term development potential and hopes to strengthen its relationships with local financial institutions, investors, and industry partners by working with professionals who understand the country's capital markets. As digital financial technologies continue to evolve globally, Galaxy also hopes to encourage professional dialogue between traditional finance and the digital asset sector and explore additional international partnerships with long-term value. Shingo Ide: Connecting Global Financial Expertise With Japan's Market Needs Ide said the discussions would center on long-term value and professional development. He hopes to combine Galaxy's experience in global digital assets, asset management, and institutional financial services with his own years of capital market research and industry engagement in Japan to foster a closer partnership. He noted that Japan's financial markets have a strong professional foundation and considerable potential for international cooperation. Through engagement with financial institutions, investor education, and collaborative market research, he hopes to create more opportunities for Japanese investors to learn about global capital markets and developments in digital finance. Looking Ahead: Continuing to Develop Partnerships in Japan The proposed partnership reflects Galaxy's continued interest in Japan's financial markets and broader opportunities for collaboration across Asia. Galaxy plans to continue engaging with local professionals and financial institutions on institutional partnerships, capital market research, investor education, and digital financial innovation as it explores frameworks for long-term cooperation. The parties are still working on the proposed arrangements. Any appointment, scope of responsibilities, and partnership plans remain subject to formal confirmation. As global financial markets and digital technologies become increasingly interconnected, Galaxy hopes to deepen international cooperation, expand its global financial services network, and strengthen professional dialogue between Japan and international capital markets.

Umia raises $6 million to build the onchain formation platform for token-native projects, joined by Galaxy Ventures, DCG and Draper Associates.

Umia raises $6 million to build the onchain formation platform for token-native projects, joined by Galaxy Ventures, DCG and Draper Associates. 05 Oct, 2026, 22:45 IST Most tokens have no formal link to the business behind them: its IP, revenue and treasury usually sit in a separate entity. Umia places all three in one legal structure alongside the token, with treasury decisions made through onchain decision markets. NEW YORK, Oct. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Umia (umia.finance), the onchain platform for launching, funding and governing projects, today announced it has raised $6 million through the auction of $UMIA, the first token launched through its own system. Ten funds and nearly 700 individual bidders took part in the seven-day sale, which ran on Base from August 26 to September 2 and opened with a three-day early round for vetted funds and zkTLS-verified community members. The public round then reached its cap seven minutes after opening on August 29, and the sale closed at more than 3x its $2 million minimum. Galaxy Ventures, DCG, Draper Associates, RenGen, Alpha EV, Maven 11 and Eon Capital were among the funds, all bidding on the same terms as every other participant, with no discounts. "Serious teams have never had a way to launch a token that is actually tied to the project behind it, so we put our own token through our system first," said Francesco Mosterts, Co-Founder of Umia. "The result is a framework we believe will change how projects are funded, launched and governed." Umia itself now operates under the same structure every project on the platform will use. Its IP, operating team and treasury sit within one legal wrapper, funds raised went into a non-custodial treasury rather than a team wallet, and board-level decisions go through decision markets. Those decisions are made through futarchy: each proposal opens a conditional market per option, and participants trade on each option's expected impact. The option the markets value highest is the one executed. Umia's first decision market went live on September 17, asking traders how to deploy $4.77 million of treasury USDC into lending protocols on Base. Three strategies competed against a do-nothing baseline, and the winning strategy, allocating to Aave and Steakhouse, has since been executed. "Onchain capital formation typically means choosing between a fair mechanism and a credible structure," said James Kibbie, Investor at Galaxy Ventures. "Umia's auction mechanism pairs the two: a clearing process that treats funds and individuals identically, and a legal and treasury framework that gives the token a defined relationship with the project behind it." With the full stack now live, the first external projects are expected to launch through Umia in Q4 2026, subject to onboarding and legal review. Timelines are indicative and may change. Umia is built by the team behind Chainbound, an Ethereum research and development lab with more than four years of experience designing core EVM infrastructure, including work with Flashbots and the Ethereum Foundation. Co-Founder and CEO Francesco Mosterts previously worked at Point72, and Co-Founder and CTO Nicolas Racchi previously built DeFi protocols and Ethereum infrastructure. The wider team also includes specialists in trading, governance, growth and operations. About Umia Umia is a full-stack platform for launching, funding and governing projects onchain. Each project launched through Umia operates within a single legal wrapper, with its intellectual property, operating team and treasury under one structure and board-level decisions delegated to onchain decision markets. $UMIA, Umia's own token, was the first launched through the system. Umia is incubated by Chainbound. Learn more at umia.finance, docs.umia.finance and x.com/umia_finance.
