Liminal Custody Solutions (Liminal), a digital asset custody and wallet infrastructure provider in the APAC and MENA region, has named Amir Tabch as its new CEO for the Middle East.
Mr. Tabch, a seasoned financial services executive and fintech pioneer, brings over two decades of experience in scaling businesses across traditional and digital asset markets.
Prior to joining Liminal, Mr. Tabch served as Chairman and CEO of Copper Securities (formerly Securrency Capital) in the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), where he played a crucial role in establishing the company, securing regulatory approvals, and driving high-profile fundraising activities.
His leadership experience also includes senior roles at SC Meta Markets, Emirates Investment Bank, and First Abu Dhabi Bank, where he specialized in global markets, multi-asset trading, and regulatory compliance.
“I am thrilled to join Liminal Custody Solutions at this transformative period in the digital asset industry,” said Mr. Tabch. “The Middle East presents a vast opportunity for growth, and I believe Liminal’s innovative custody solutions and commitment to regulatory compliance will play a pivotal role in unlocking the region’s full potential. I look forward to collaborating with the Liminal team to develop a robust and secure infrastructure for institutional investors in the Middle East.”
Mr. Tabch’s appointment aligns with Liminal’s strategic expansion efforts in the Middle East and its broader goal of enhancing its custody offerings. In fact, the company recently received an In-Principle Approval (IPA) from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) of ADGM to operate as a custody provider for Virtual Assets.
Additionally, Liminal has bolstered its regional team with the addition of Satya Venkata Chalapathi as Vice President of Risk & Compliance and Ajit Thakur as Head of Custody Operations. Their combined expertise in digital asset security and operational excellence will further reinforce Liminal’s capabilities in the Middle East.
Disclaimer: Mr. Tabch’s appointment as the Senior Executive Officer (SEO) of the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) entity is subject to regulatory approval by the FSRA. Nevertheless, this doesn’t impact Mr. Tabch’s appointment as the CEO of the Middle East at Liminal.
