Less than a year after joining cryptocurrency exchange Bittrex Global as general counsel, Oliver Linch announced Monday he will also take on a second role: CEO.

Linch takes the reins of the executive role from Stephen Stonberg, who is stepping down. Stonberg joined the Vaduz, Liechtenstein-based company in 2019, and was appointed CEO last May. A company spokesperson declined to comment on why he departed the company or where he is headed next.
