Cryptocurrency custodian firm Copper CEO Dmitry Tokarev is stepping down

According to two sources familiar with the matter, Dmitry Tokarev, the CEO of cryptocurrency custodian Copper, plans to step down from the company's day-to-day operations and step down as CEO. The digital asset custodian, whose chairperson is Philip Hammond, the former UK chancellor of the exchequer, is looking for a successor, according to a person familiar with the matter. Tokarev, who helped found the company in 2018, remains a significant shareholder and will be deeply involved in the business, the person said. Last month, Copper founding partner and chief business officer Boris Bohrer-Bilowitzki left to become CEO of blockchain firm Concordium. Mike Milner, who spent five years at the company and was head of global revenue, also left to join Concordium.
