**BREAKING: Spotex Adds Digital Assets Chief in Push to Merge FX and Crypto Trading**
Spotex has appointed Joseph Tuccio as head of digital assets, formalizing the US institutional venue’s expansion into cryptocurrency trading alongside its established FX and precious metals operations. Tuccio joins from Seabury Capital, a long-standing Spotex investor, where he orchestrated digital partnerships that have already connected the venue with multiple crypto liquidity providers and custodians behind the scenes.
The hire signals Spotex’s strategic pivot to compete in institutional digital asset trading, a space currently dominated by crypto-native firms like Wintermute and B2C2. Tuccio brings nearly two decades of markets experience, including institutional digital asset roles at Nukkleus, Bosonic, and Elysium Technology Group, plus traditional FX experience at ED&F Man and StoneX.
Spotex is positioning itself as a unified venue offering FX, metals, and crypto through a single API, targeting traditional finance clients seeking digital asset exposure. The move comes as institutional demand for crypto access through established trading infrastructure accelerates.
