OKX, a global cryptocurrency exchange and onchain technology company, has named Yuri Mushkin as its Global Chief Risk Officer.
Based in Singapore, Mushkin will oversee the company’s global risk strategy and lead its independent enterprise risk function, reporting to the CEO and Board of Directors.
Mushkin previously worked at McKinsey Investment Office Partners, where he managed over US$20 billion across public and private markets.
With over 20 years of experience in capital markets and risk management across traditional and digital assets, he has held senior positions at firms such as Goldman Sachs and McKinsey & Co.
This appointment comes as OKX expands its global presence. OKX recently launched operations in the UAE and its Singapore entity obtained a Major Payment Institution license in September.
Earlier this year, OKX established its European base in Malta to comply with Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulations.
OKX publishes its Proof of Reserves on a monthly basis to provide transparency.
Star Xu, Founder and CEO, OKX said,

We’ve demonstrated our resilience over more than 10 years navigating multiple crypto market cycles and our global stakeholders now include the leading regulatory agencies, financial institutions and corporate partners.
