Source: CryptoNewsNet Original Title: Hedge Fund Karatage appoints IMC veteran Shane O’Callaghan as senior partner Original Link: Karatage, a leading London-based proprietary hedge fund specializing in digital assets and emerging technology, has appointed Shane O’Callaghan as a senior partner and head of institutional strategy.

O’Callaghan joins from Dutch market maker IMC Trading, where he was employed as global head of institutional partnerships and digital asset sales for the last year.

Before joining IMC, O’Callaghan worked at crypto trading platform Portofino Technologies as global head of business development, and also as head of Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) for now-defunct crypto lender BlockFi.

“Shane didn’t join because it was safe. He joined because the opportunity is rare — to build something bold, aggressive, and genuinely disruptive from the inside out,” said Marius Barnett, co-founder and CEO at Karatage. “He’s stepping away from elite senior roles to help us execute at a higher level, move faster, and raise the standard across everything we do.”
