Navin Gupta has been appointed as the new chief executive officer (CEO) at Crystal, as per a <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20240218207539/en/Crystal-appoints-Navin-Gupta-Former-Ripple-Managing-Director-as-Chief-Executive-Officer" target="_blank">press release</a>. The company is a leading blockchain intelligence firm empowering financial institutions, law enforcement, and regulators with real-time blockchain analysis, investigative, and compliance solutions. 
Gupta’s major role in the firm encompasses expanding blockchain intelligence solutions to global regulators, VASPs, TradFi sectors, and stakeholders in cryptocurrencies. Marina Khaustova moves into the new position of chief operations officer (COO) from CEO. 
As crypto assets adoption going mainstream, especially after <a href="https://coingape.com/tag/spot-bitcoin-etf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spot Bitcoin ETF</a> in the U.S., Gupta believes adoption will grow in the coming years. “Regulators need superior intelligence and cutting-edge tools to navigate these changes, and TradFi institutions are seeking to manage risks effectively as they enter the digital assets market,” he added.

Navin has extensive experience in global transaction banking, payments and cash management, and strategy planning following nearly two decades working for HSBC and Citigroup across the U.S., Hong Kong, Japan, Taiwan, and India.&nbsp; His roles at HSBC and CitiBank, and entrepreneurial experience as co-founder of a commercial transport technology platform, make him perfect for Crystal’s expansion goal. 
He was a board member of National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), an organization founded by RBI and banks that operates retail payments and settlement systems in India.
