Pantera Capital COO leaves company after two months in role

Pantera Capital’s chief operating officer, Samir Shah, left the company two months after his appointment. This is indicated by information on his LinkedIn profile.

The executive took a job at a cryptobank in July after 13 years at JPMorgan, where he led the asset-management sales department.

A month before Shah’s departure from Pantera Capital, its chief counsel Joe Cisewski took the role of Chief of Staff and Senior Counsel at the CFTC. In previous years, the expert worked in the agency under former Commissioner Mark Wetjen.

Earlier in May, ForkLog reported that Pantera Capital cashed out around 80% of its Terra investments before the project’s collapse.

Previously, the venture firm invested funds in the NFT media-distribution platform Pinata.

A month earlier, Pantera Capital led an investment round for the decentralized domain registrar Unstoppable Domains worth $65 million.
