CheckSig targets institutional clients: Maurizio Busetti appointed Head of Business Development

Busetti, formerly of Numerix and Thomson Reuters, will oversee the development of the institutional business of the Italian crypto fintech, as the company accelerates its growth in the institutional segment and its international expansion.

Milan, 10 June 2026 - CheckSig, a leading Italian fintech company in crypto services, announces the appointment of Maurizio Busetti as Head of Business Development.

In his new role, Busetti will be responsible for developing relationships with financial intermediaries and strategic partners, contributing to the evolution of CheckSig’s offering both in Italy and internationally, with a particular focus on the traditional finance sector.

The appointment comes at a time of strong acceleration in the adoption of digital assets and blockchain technology by institutional clients, who are increasingly integrating them into their investment, trading and innovation strategies.

Against this backdrop, CheckSig is strengthening its positioning as a partner of choice, standing out for the excellence of its technological, regulatory and strategic expertise.

With over twenty-five years of experience in global financial markets across Europe, North America and the Middle East, Busetti has held roles of increasing responsibility in institutional business development and in managing relationships with corporate clients and financial institutions, with a focus on trading, investment management, analytics and risk management solutions.

He previously served as Regional Director for Southern Europe and the Middle East at Numerix, where he led commercial strategies and partnership development. He also held managerial roles at Thomson Reuters, with responsibility for business development in North America and Italy.

“The appointment of Maurizio represents a strategic milestone in our growth journey,” commented Ferdinando Ametrano, CEO of CheckSig. “His international experience and deep knowledge of active participants in financial markets strengthen our ability to serve institutional clients and seize the opportunities of a rapidly evolving market, where demand for regulated crypto infrastructure is increasingly central.”

“CheckSig is uniquely positioned to capture the growing demand from financial intermediaries in the digital assets sector and to support them, with outstanding expertise, in a journey of innovative growth,” added Busetti.

CheckSig already holds a distinctive position in the European market, being the first Italian crypto operator to have obtained a MiCAR licence from Consob. This positioning is further strengthened by high standards in security, governance and compliance, which are becoming increasingly central for institutional clients.
