The CEO of Metaco, a Ripple Labs entity, has stepped down from his role as Chairman of the company,
Ripple acquired Metaco in 2023, in the hopes of entering the lucrative custody market. Metaco is a custody specialist that will bring real-world assets on-chain.
No specific reason was given for the departure of Metaco’s CEO Adrien Treccani. Additionally, the company’s Chief Product Officer also departed from the company.
The timing is odd, to say the least, and even more odd seeing as how Treccani wasn’t just CEO, he was a founder of Metaco—it was his baby.
Perhaps the acquisition by Ripple requires new hands to crew the company, but again, no specific reasons were given for the departure of these two executives. Here’s what we currently know:
The CEO and chief product officer of @metaco_sa, the cryptocurrency custody firm acquired by @Ripple last year, have left the company.https://t.co/JFg2h3hfti
