BOCA RATON, FL, April 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DeFi Development Corporation (Nasdaq: JNVR) (the “Company”) today announced the appointment of Fei “John” Han as Chief Financial Officer, as well as Dan Kang (“DK”) as Head of Investor Relations. The new appointments underscore the Company’s commitment to building a world-class financial and investor relations function as it scales its crypto-forward treasury strategy.
Han brings over 15 years of experience across traditional finance and crypto, with a track record of leadership at some of the crypto industry's most recognized institutions. Most recently, he served as CFO at blockchain-company Provable, and prior to that, held multiple senior roles at Binance including Vice President of Finance and Head of Finance for Europe, the Middle East, Africa, LATAM, and Canada. Earlier in his career, he led Strategic Finance at Kraken, where he worked closely with Parker White and Joseph Onorati and played a key role in scaling the business during a period of rapid growth. Han began his career in equity research at Goldman Sachs and later served as an investor at Nezu Asia Capital and Driehaus Capital.
“John brings a rare combination of traditional financial rigor and deep crypto expertise," said Joseph Onorati, CEO of DeFi Development Corporation. “We’re building a new kind of capital markets structure, and he’s exactly the person we want steering our financial strategy. Having worked closely with him in the past, I’m thrilled to be partnering again on this next chapter.”
Kang, who joins as Head of Investor Relations, brings more than a decade of experience across strategy, institutional investing, and capital markets. He was most recently Head of Strategy at Kraken, where he spent three years on the corporate strategy team and worked alongside White and Onorati. Prior to Kraken, he spent nearly a decade in long/short equity investing, covering TMT stocks, with additional experience at Snap Inc. in Strategy & Corporate Development, and as a credit risk analyst at Morgan Stanley.
Former CFO Bruce Rosenbloom will remain with the Company as EVP of Finance to leverage his 25 years of public market experience and assist with the Company’s transition. “I’m excited for our next chapter and for the opportunity to work along-side such an impressive team,” said Bruce Rosenbloom, EVP of Finance.
“Bruce has been instrumental in guiding us through our public company journey and helping lay the groundwork for our evolution,” said Blake Janover, Chief Commercial Officer. “He’s been a steady hand through major milestones, and we’re deeply grateful for his past and future contributions.”
The Company’s financial leadership also continues to benefit from the guidance of Audit Committee Chair Bill Caragol, who brings decades of public company experience and remains an active member of the Company’s Board. A longtime executive and former public company CEO and CFO, Caragol plays an important role in supporting the Company’s governance, controls, and financial oversight.
These additions reflect DeFi Development Corporation’s deep bench of expertise in both digital assets and public markets. The Company’s finance and investor relations team brings together institutional experience from leading crypto firms, global investment banks, and high-growth public companies — a key differentiator that strengthens the Company’s position as a trusted, transparent, and execution-oriented player in the space.
