BitGo has appointed former MAS and TRM Labs executive Angela Ang as Managing Director of APAC and President of BitGo Singapore.
She took up the roles after clearing all regulatory and fit-and-proper requirements.
Angela will oversee BitGo’s regional growth, market development and operating infrastructure.
She will also lead the company’s efforts to grow its institutional business across Asia Pacific.
Angela joins BitGo from blockchain intelligence firm TRM Labs, where she served as Head of APAC Public Policy and Strategic Partnerships.
She was also part of the company’s founding APAC team and supported its expansion across the region.
Before joining TRM Labs, Angela spent more than a decade at the Monetary Authority of Singapore.
She led the team that developed and implemented Singapore’s payments and crypto licensing regime.
Angela said,
“BitGo has built its reputation by focusing on the requirements that matter most to institutions: security, compliance, resilience, and trust. Singapore has established one of the world’s most respected regulatory frameworks for digital assets, and APAC is entering an important phase of institutional market development.
I am excited to join BitGo and work with our teams, clients, and partners to expand access to safe, scalable, and regulated digital asset solutions across the region.”
BitGo Singapore is regulated by MAS as a Major Payment Institution. Singapore serves as a strategic hub for BitGo’s wider APAC operations.
The company provides institutional services covering digital asset custody, wallets, trading, financing, settlement, staking and stablecoin infrastructure.
