Asset management giant Invesco has named Kathleen Wrynn as its new global head of digital assets, marking a strategic expansion into cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Wrynn will oversee the firm’s $1.6 billion crypto ETF portfolio, bringing blockchain expertise from her previous role at JPMorgan to accelerate institutional adoption.
This leadership appointment signals Invesco’s intensified focus on digital asset innovation, particularly in expanding institutional exposure to major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. The move aligns with growing momentum among traditional financial institutions embracing digital assets to enhance market liquidity and stability.
Bitcoin’s market performance underscores this institutional interest, with the cryptocurrency posting a 32.73% price surge over 90 days. Bitcoin currently trades near $108,622, maintaining a market capitalization above $2 trillion amid broadening institutional participation.
Wrynn’s regulatory experience positions Invesco to navigate evolving compliance frameworks as digital asset governance matures globally. Her appointment strengthens the firm’s capacity to address governance challenges while advancing cryptocurrency investment products for institutional clients.
