B2C2 Hires Schroders Veteran Jason Lai to Expand in Asia

B2C2 provides crypto liquidity and trade execution to banks, hedge funds and other professional investors, placing it among the market intermediaries linking digital assets with traditional finance. Its Asia-Pacific push comes as family offices and asset managers in the region broaden their crypto allocations, increasing demand for institutional pricing, execution and risk controls — and for advisers who can connect established wealth-management networks with digital-asset markets.

B2C2 said on Aug. 13, 2026, that it hired Jason Lai, former chairman of Schroders Wealth Management in Asia, as a senior adviser to help expand business with regional family offices and asset managers. Lai joined Schroders in 2019 after it acquired Thirdrock Group, the Singapore-based wealth manager he founded, and stepped down in July 2026. B2C2 did not disclose the appointment’s compensation, duration or financial targets.
