CoinCover, a digital asset disaster recovery firm, has appointed Silicon Valley veteran Jeremy Verba as its new CEO.
Verba replaces co-founder David Janczewski, who remains a key advisor to the Cardiff-headquartered firm and will continue to serve on its board.
CoinCover has become a key player in the maturation of the cryptocurrency sector, providing wallet recovery solutions to institutions and their users – underpinned by encryption and decryption.
Safeguarding 600+ businesses and protecting over 22 million wallets since establishing the wallet disaster recovery category with its founding in 2018, CoinCover is a crucial partner to the likes of Fireblocks, BitGo and Ledger.
“I founded the company to revolutionise the world of blockchain protection by making digital asset ownership safe and secure for everyone,” said Janczewski (pictured main image, left).
“Our platform and technology are now proven in the market and we are well positioned to continue underpinning the future of the industry. Jeremy’s appointment brings in decades of experience that sets us up to do that at scale.”
His co-founder Adam Smith (main image, right), who served as CTO, left the firm a year ago.
Verba (below), a veteran of Silicon Valley, joins at a pivotal time for CoinCover and the industry more broadly, as digital asset adoption grows exponentially at both an institutional and consumer level. Globally, figures suggest that 86% of institutional investors have exposure to digital assets and 820 million crypto wallets were active worldwide in 2025.
Traditional financial institutions are also exploring the digital asset potential, with a heavy focus on stablecoins. Nine European banks partnered to issue stablecoins Nine major European banks join forces to issue stablecoin in 2026, and ten major global banks are also jointly exploring issuing a stablecoin pegged to G7 currencies.
With deep expertise in scaling multi-million dollar businesses, including Walmart Video and eHarmony, CoinCover says Verba will help it to solidify, and grow, its market position as a critical integration layer for firms building and operating digital asset strategies.
Having joined various technology companies at similar inflection points, Verba will use this experience to accelerate the delivery and growth of CoinCover’s market-leading products and proposition.
As part of his role as CEO, Verba has led the injection of additional capital from existing investors to power this next phase of growth.
“I have built my career scaling fast-growth businesses that have a very clear market need”, said Verba.
“Since its inception, CoinCover has played an incredibly important role in the evolution of the digital assets industry, and we now have an even greater opportunity to position ourselves at the forefront of the safe transition to a new world of finance.
“What CoinCover offers will become table stakes for institutions rolling out digital asset strategies and offerings, and I’m excited to drive forward our new phase of growth in this rapidly evolving market.”
The appointment follows recent news that Digital Asset, the creator of the Canton Network, has integrated CoinCover within its Copper-based treasury infrastructure, a move designed to reinforce resilience and confidence amidst greater awareness of the institutional need for robust safety measures.
