BitGo has appointed Angela Ang as managing director for Asia-Pacific and president of BitGo Singapore, strengthening its leadership team in the region.
Ang brings more than a decade of experience from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), where she played a key role in developing the country’s payments and cryptocurrency licensing framework. She later joined blockchain analytics firm TRM Labs as head of APAC public policy and strategic partnerships.
BitGo said Ang assumed the role after fulfilling all regulatory and fit-and-proper requirements. At MAS, she led the implementation of the licensing regime under which BitGo Singapore now operates as a Major Payment Institution.
In her new position, Ang will oversee BitGo’s business growth, market development and operations across Asia-Pacific. BitGo chief operating officer Jody Mettler said her appointment reinforces the company’s presence in one of the world’s most significant digital asset markets.
The appointment comes as BitGo expands its global footprint following its public listing on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol BTGO. The company offers digital asset custody, trading, lending, settlement and stablecoin infrastructure services to institutional clients worldwide.
Ang said the Asia-Pacific region is entering an important phase of institutional digital asset adoption and market development, presenting significant opportunities for growth.
