Greenlane Holdings, Inc. has appointed Jason Hitchcock as its Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. The appointment comes as the Nasdaq-listed company continues to execute its Berachain-focused Digital Asset Treasury strategy, which combines disciplined capital allocation with active ecosystem participation through validator operations, staking, and liquidity provisioning.

Hitchcock brings over 15 years of technology leadership experience, most recently serving as Head of Business Development at thirdweb, a leading open-source Web3 developer tools and infrastructure platform available at https://thirdweb.com. In that role, he built and led the company’s enterprise go-to-market strategy across more than 150 blockchain networks. His background includes senior business development roles at Twitch and Bebo, where he contributed to platform growth in high-scale digital environments.

The new CEO has been an active participant in decentralized finance since 2020, with hands-on experience deploying capital across DeFi protocols for yield generation, liquidity provisioning, and token management. He co-founded Four Moons, a decentralized finance advisory and liquid token investment firm, where he raised two private funds and managed digital asset strategies focused on yield generation through DeFi protocols.

At Greenlane, Hitchcock will oversee corporate strategy, capital allocation, operational execution, and the continued development of the company’s digital asset treasury initiatives. His mandate includes deepening Greenlane’s participation within the Berachain ecosystem while maintaining governance, disclosure, and risk management standards consistent with a public company.

‘I’m excited to lead Greenlane’s strategy to accumulate BERA and put our treasury to work within Berachain’s Proof of Liquidity ecosystem,’ Hitchcock stated. ‘Berachain’s PoL mechanism is uniquely designed to reward active liquidity provision rather than passive token lockup—validators, liquidity providers, and stakers all participate in an economic flywheel where network activity drives BGT emissions, protocol incentives, and yield opportunities.’

Greenlane intends to become the largest public holder of BERA and use the scale of its position across validators, reward vaults, and liquidity pools to capture yield generated by this flywheel. The company’s focus is on disciplined capital deployment, transparent reporting, and building durable long-term value for shareholders through its digital asset treasury strategy.

Berachain, which has raised $150 million from leading digital asset investors, operates with three native tokens—BERA (gas and staking), BGT (governance and rewards), and HONEY (native stablecoin)—designed to support sustainable on-chain economies. The network’s Proof of Liquidity mechanism represents an extension of Proof of Stake that aligns network security with ecosystem liquidity, creating market-driven incentives for participants.

The company’s digital asset activities involve significant risks, including volatility in digital asset markets, regulatory developments affecting blockchain networks, and changes in protocol design or governance. These risks are detailed in the company’s SEC filings available at https://www.sec.gov. Greenlane emphasizes that investments in and exposures to digital assets such as BERA are highly speculative and may result in the loss of all or a substantial portion of invested capital.

UK crypto holders brace for FCA’s expanded regulatory reach

The post UK crypto holders brace for FCA’s expanded regulatory reach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. British crypto holders may soon face a very different landscape as the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) moves to expand its regulatory reach in the industry. A new consultation paper outlines how the watchdog intends to apply its rulebook to crypto firms, shaping everything from asset safeguarding to trading platform operation. According to the financial regulator, these proposals would translate into clearer protections for retail investors and stricter oversight of crypto firms. UK FCA plans Until now, UK crypto users mostly encountered the FCA through rules on promotions and anti-money laundering checks. The consultation paper goes much further. It proposes direct oversight of stablecoin issuers, custodians, and crypto-asset trading platforms (CATPs). For investors, that means the wallets, exchanges, and coins they rely on could soon be subject to the same governance and resilience standards as traditional financial institutions. The regulator has also clarified that firms need official authorization before serving customers. This condition should, in theory, reduce the risk of sudden platform failures or unclear accountability. David Geale, the FCA’s executive director of payments and digital finance, said the proposals are designed to strike a balance between innovation and protection. He explained: “We want to develop a sustainable and competitive crypto sector – balancing innovation, market integrity and trust.” Geale noted that while the rules will not eliminate investment risks, they will create consistent standards, helping consumers understand what to expect from registered firms. Why does this matter for crypto holders? The UK regulatory framework shift would provide safer custody of assets, better disclosure of risks, and clearer recourse if something goes wrong. However, the regulator was also frank in its submission, arguing that no rulebook can eliminate the volatility or inherent risks of holding digital assets. Instead, the focus is on ensuring that when consumers choose to invest, they do…
