Citigroup’s (C) Global Head of Markets Digital Assets Maini Leaves

Shobhit Maini, global head of digital assets in Citigroup Inc.’s market unit, has left the bank to pursue other opportunities in the crypto industry, according to an internal memo reviewed by Bloomberg News.

Maini spent more than 14 years at Citigroup, according to a profile on Linkedin, and most recently led the digital assets team under the markets division. He left to pursue “an entrepreneurial opportunity in the digital asset space,” according to the memo, which was sent last week by Lee Smallwood, head of markets innovation and investments at Citigroup.
