NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK– 16/05/2025 – (SeaPRwire) – In a decisive move to solidify its role as a key player in the future of decentralized finance (DeFi), Cryptex Finance has announced the onboarding of two influential experts in traditional finance and digital asset regulation. The platform welcomes Annemarie Tierney, a pioneering figure in securities law and cryptocurrency oversight, to its advisory board, alongside the formation of a strategic partnership with ETF veteran Morrison Warren, an authority in index fund development and crypto-based investment vehicles.
This dual development signals Cryptex Finance’s intensifying effort to bridge the gap between the rigor of traditional financial infrastructure and the transformative potential of blockchain-based investing. With digital assets increasingly gaining institutional attention, Cryptex aims to bring robust, regulated, and reliable indexing tools to the forefront of Web3, accelerating the maturity of decentralized markets.
Founded in 2021, Cryptex Finance is best known as the creator of the TCAP (Total Cryptocurrency Market Cap) token—an ERC-20 asset designed to offer decentralized exposure to the total market capitalization of the cryptocurrency sector. This tokenized index product was the first of its kind, drawing parallels to legacy benchmarks like the S&P 500, but built specifically for the crypto economy. As part of a broader initiative, Cryptex plans to expand its product line with a series of innovative index-based tools aimed at institutional and retail investors alike.
Tierney and Warren join the company at a crucial juncture in its growth strategy. The inclusion of Annemarie Tierney, known for her leadership at Nasdaq Private Market and her groundbreaking role in launching the Grayscale Bitcoin Investment Trust (GBTC) during her tenure at SecondMarket Holdings, underscores Cryptex’s commitment to regulatory clarity and long-term sustainability. Her background as a senior executive at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) further bolsters the firm’s credibility as it builds frameworks aligned with evolving regulatory standards.
“I am proud to be part of a team that is laying the foundation for institutional-quality financial infrastructure in the digital asset space,” Tierney commented. “Cryptex’s focus on transparency and compliance is exactly what the industry needs to gain long-term legitimacy.”
On the ETF front, Morrison Warren brings a track record of excellence and forward-looking strategy. As a Partner and Co-Chair at Chapman’s Investment Management Practice Group, Warren has helped steward over 525 ETFs totaling more than $350 billion in assets under management. His legal and strategic counsel has been instrumental in shaping groundbreaking products such as physically backed bitcoin ETFs and tokenized investment vehicles—making him a natural fit for Cryptex’s mission to create trustworthy crypto index instruments.
“The digital asset landscape is evolving rapidly, and the next growth phase will rely on familiar financial tools adapted for this new environment,” Warren said. “Cryptex is ahead of the curve, building products that institutional investors can actually use—and trust.”
Joe Sticco, Co-Founder of Cryptex Finance, emphasized the strategic value of the additions: “Welcoming Annemarie and Morrison marks a major step in Cryptex Finance’s journey. Their unparalleled expertise in digital regulation and index product development brings tremendous depth to our efforts. We are committed to building the benchmark indexing platform for digital assets.”
As Cryptex Finance continues to expand its lineup of tokenized financial instruments, these high-level appointments provide both technical and regulatory support to ensure scalability, security, and institutional viability. The company remains focused on creating transparent, decentralized, and data-driven tools that align with traditional investment principles while harnessing the disruptive nature of blockchain.
With an eye on future growth and an unwavering focus on quality, Cryptex Finance is positioning itself as a cornerstone for next-generation index-based investing in the world of digital assets.
