Crypto Exchange Gemini has appointed a new CFO as it positions itself for a potentially preliminary public offer.

The company’s latest rent, Dan Chen, who previously served as Vice President of Capital Markets at Afficre, announced the move in a social media post.

“Crypto is the most dynamic sector in funding, and Gemini is at the forefront of this revolution – making it simple and safe to engage in Digital Asset Frontier,” Chen wrote in the position.

Chen will work with Gemini-co-founders Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss to help scale the company. The timing of the rent is in line with Geminis reported ambitions for a stock exchange listing, which would give greater access to capital while the company is exposed to the transparency requirements in the public markets.

If Gemini is moving forward with the public listing process, it will be part of a small but growing number of crypto-native companies considering a stock exchange listing in the US stock exchanges, including Kraken, Circle, Bullish (parent company in Coindesk) and Blockchain.com

Gemini has not formally confirmed its IPO plans, but the appointment of a CFO with long experience with financial strategy suggests that preparations may be underway.
