Jan. 29 — Cryptocurrency payment firm BCB Group has announced a management reshuffle, with former Chief Operating Officer (COO) Tim Renew officially stepping into the role of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to lead the company’s next phase of growth. Co-founder Oliver Tonkin will transition to the newly created position of President, continuing to drive BCB’s strategy, culture, and long-term development. Renew joined BCB Group in 2024 as Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) before advancing to COO. During his tenure, the firm expanded internationally, grew transaction volume and revenue, and boosted the share of recurring revenue. BCB Group noted the personnel adjustment comes as it advances regulatory compliance and global expansion. The company recently secured a Canadian license, holds permits in multiple top-tier jurisdictions, and is gearing up for further global growth and a Series B funding round. Positioned as a provider of payment and banking infrastructure bridging traditional finance and blockchain settlement networks, BCB aims to accelerate its global expansion and product development pace amid rising institutional interest in digital assets and stablecoin payments — while maintaining management continuity.

Analyst: Expects Fed to Hold Off Next Rate Cut Until June

On January 29, Investec analyst Ryan Djajasaputra noted that Powell’s messaging indicates the Federal Reserve isn’t in a rush to adjust policy in the near term.
