Ang joins from blockchain intelligence firm TRM Labs, where she served as head of APAC public policy and strategic partnerships. She previously spent more than a decade at the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), Singapore’s central bank and financial regulator, where she helped shape the city-state’s payments and crypto licensing framework.
The appointment, announced on 18 Jun, is part of BitGo’s push to expand its institutional custody business across Asia. BitGo Singapore holds a Major Payment Institution licence from MAS and serves as the company’s regional headquarters.
In her new role, Ang will lead business growth, market development and operational infrastructure across APAC. BitGo confirmed she has satisfied all regulatory and fit-and-proper requirements.
"Her experience at the intersection of regulation, market infrastructure and commercial growth is highly relevant," said Jody Mettler, BitGo’s chief operating officer.
BitGo debuted on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on 22 Jan at $22.43 a share, valuing the company at around $2bn. Since then, its stock price has fallen 76% to close at $5.44 on 16 Jun, and its market cap is now around $630mn.
In March, the company disclosed a 2025 net loss of $14.8mn after posting a $54.1mn profit for 2024.
