Elin Cherry

I am Co-CEO of Copper, a blockchain technology and institutional digital asset infrastructure company, where I lead global strategy and operations alongside executive leadership. I bring thirty years of experience building and scaling programs across broker-dealers, investment advisors, banks, fintech, and digital asset firms — with deep expertise in regulatory affairs, AML, capital markets, derivatives, and digital assets. My regulatory relationships span FINRA, SEC, NYSE, CFTC, FDIC, and FRB. I have presented at the board level and directed M&A due diligence across complex regulatory environments. Prior to Copper, I led Americas Compliance at Marex, unifying five departments into a high-performing team of 24 and implementing CFTC and SEC Swap Dealer frameworks. I also founded Elinphant, a financial compliance consultancy acquired by Softek. I bring a JD, seven FINRA licenses, an elected seat on the FINRA District 10 Committee, and membership on FINRA's Series 9 and 10 qualification exam committee. I build programs and teams that hold up under scrutiny — and now, companies that do the same.
