NEW YORK, Sept. 4, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Gemini Trust Company, LLC (Gemini), a cryptocurrency exchange and custodian, announced today that Noah Perlman has joined as its new Chief Compliance Officer.

Prior to joining Gemini, Perlman served as the Global Head of Financial Crimes at Morgan Stanley, a global financial services firm that provides investment banking, securities, and investment management services.

Noah has deep compliance expertise and we are excited for him to continue to build on Gemini's compliance-first tradition."
