His mandate includes driving alignment across the organization and ensuring that Talos’s platform continues to be the trusted infrastructure layer for financial institutions. Forman’s appointment reflects Talos’s ongoing momentum and the broader wave of institutional engagement in digital assets. Over the past year, Talos has onboarded as clients multiple leading asset managers representing approximately $21 trillion in assets under management (AUM), as well as hedge funds collectively managing over $100 billion in AUM. In addition, several retail brokers have adopted Talos’s technology, enabling over 100 million end users to trade digital assets.

These strategic moves advance Talos’s commitment to delivering an institutional-grade platform that supports the full lifecycle of digital asset investment. “I’ve followed Talos’s evolution with admiration, from assembling the broadest connectivity network to building out the most comprehensive execution and portfolio management system for digital assets,” added Forman. “This is an inflection point not only for Talos, but for the convergence of digital and traditional finance.
