BKCM CryptoCurrency Hedge Fund Adds Wall Street’s Frank Hourigan as COO

BKCM CryptoCurrency Hedge Fund Welcomes Wall Street Veteran, Frank Hourigan As New COO

BKCM LLC, an independent investment firm specializing in cryptocurrency and blockchain-focused investment opportunities, has announced that all Street veteran Frank Hourigan has joined the firm as Chief Operating Officer (COO).

The firm manages a cryptocurrency hedge fund and the newly launched publicly traded REX BKCM ETF (NYSE: BKC). Its new COO’s appointment comes with the responsibility to oversee all aspects of strategic planning and business operations, with a special focus on continuing the rapid growth of the firm's hedge fund business.

BKCM said it is excited to add an executive of Frank Hourigan’s caliber to the leadership team and believes Hourigan is the exact right fit, in terms of skills and culture, to help guide the firm in its next phase of growth.

According to Brian Kelly CEO of BKCM, Hourigan brings extensive expertise in both capital markets and cryptocurrency, having co-founded and served as CEO of Satis Group LLC, a boutique investment bank focused on digital assets. Prior to that he served as Managing Director for ICO Investment Banking at Argon Group. The depth and breadth of Frank's professional relationships and experience will bridge the gap between traditional and crypto investors on an institutional level.

In all, Hourigan brings 21 years of progressive leadership roles in management, sales, and marketing.

A Justified Appointment

BKCM believes Hourigan’s appointment is justified as its business requires a unique skill set. In addition to capital markets expertise, it requires a deep understanding the intricacies of crypto-blockchain technology and the entrepreneurial drive to bring emerging opportunities to clients.

The firm said Hourigan delivers in all three of those areas, especially the fast-changing cryptocurrency space, where he has hands-on experience issuing ICOs—both security and utility tokens, and a proven ability to raise capital for numerous blockchain related investments.

In all, Hourigan brings 21 years of progressive leadership roles in management, sales, and marketing.

He has spent much of the last decade on Wall Street in senior capital markets roles, as a Principal at Needham & Company, a boutique investment bank focused on growth technology companies, and as a Director in equity research sales at the leading global asset manager AllianceBernstein. BKCM expects Hourigan to bring his wealth of experience to bare in the new role.
