As financial institutions increasingly move from exploring digital assets to integrating them into their operations, SCRYPT, the operating system for digital assets, has appointed Adam Parnell as Vice President of Growth to lead the company’s next phase of global commercial expansion.
The appointment comes as SCRYPT continues to expand its global footprint amid accelerating demand for stablecoin infrastructure and institutional digital asset solutions. Recent expansion into African settlement corridors has strengthened SCRYPT’s ability to support businesses and financial service providers seeking faster, more efficient cross-border settlement solutions, while its platform continues to serve banks, asset managers, fintechs, payment providers, and corporate treasury teams globally.
In this role, Parnell will drive SCRYPT’s growth strategy across institutional client acquisition, strategic partnerships, market development, and global go-to-market initiatives. His focus will include expanding SCRYPT’s reach beyond the crypto-native ecosystem, strengthening relationships with financial institutions and enterprise clients, and identifying new opportunities as demand grows for trusted digital asset infrastructure.
“The next stage of digital asset adoption will be driven by institutions that can combine trusted infrastructure with strong commercial execution,” said Norman Wooding, Founder and CEO, SCRYPT. “Adam brings more than two decades of experience building high-performing commercial organisations across traditional finance, fintech, and digital assets. His ability to translate strategy into execution, develop long-term client relationships, and identify new growth opportunities will be invaluable as we continue expanding SCRYPT’s global footprint.”
Parnell brings more than 20 years of experience across business development, sales leadership, account management, and growth strategy. Most recently, Parnell held partnerships and client solutions roles at Zodia Markets, where he worked with institutional clients navigating digital asset markets. Earlier, he served as Business Development Director for Europe and the Americas at Liminal, helping expand institutional custody infrastructure across international markets. His broader career includes senior commercial leadership positions at the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) and the Confederation of British Industry (CBI), where he led business development initiatives across technology and enterprise sectors.
Adam Parnell, Vice President of Growth, SCRYPT said,”Great strategy only matters if you can execute it. SCRYPT has built a strong foundation for institutional digital assets, and I’m excited to help translate that into long-term growth. Throughout my career, I’ve focused on building relationships, identifying opportunities, and turning strategy into measurable growth. My focus will be on expanding our partnerships, entering new markets, and helping more businesses unlock the value of digital assets.”
