Advisory Board Appointments

Ethtry PLC (AQSE: ETHY), the UK-listed Company advancing an Ethereum Treasury Policy for the development and operation of its commercial activities, is pleased to announce the appointment of Mike Foy and Marc Degen to its newly formed Advisory Board with immediate effect.

Mike Foy brings a combination of banking, fintech and professional-services experience to the Advisory Board. After joining AMINA in 2022 as Chief of Staff to the CEO, he progressed to the role of Chief Financial Officer the following year, where he has since overseen financial strategy within one of Switzerland’s fastest growing digital-asset banking institutions. His background also includes time as CFO of a London-based fintech, building on eight years in senior finance and strategy positions at Barclays.

Marc Degen is a Swiss entrepreneur with a long-standing track record in digital services, telecommunications and Web3 technologies, where he has acted as a Founder, Co-Founder and Board Member across multiple organisations. His career includes both successful exits and early-stage ventures, giving him broad experience in creating and scaling digital business models. Marc’s work has centred on applying technological innovation to develop commercially viable solutions, with a particular focus on decentralisation, transparency and sustainable digital transformation. He currently serves on the boards of Telecom Liechtenstein, the Pyth Data Association, DCAP, R17 Ventures and ProveAI, contributing strategic insight to companies operating at the intersection of technology, data and infrastructure. Across these roles, he is regarded for his systematic, long-term perspective and for supporting the development of collaborative digital ecosystems that enable businesses and users to benefit from emerging technologies.

Both appointments bring substantial international experience and expertise which the Board believes will add valuable strategic guidance as Ethtry continues to build and expand its business. As members of the Advisory Board, Mr Foy and Mr Degen will advise on the Company’s overall strategy, corporate development, and the implementation of its Ethereum Treasury Policy, in addition to contributing insight into potential opportunities across global markets.

Mr. Patrick Chopard, Chief Executive Officer of Ethtry PLC, commented:

“We are delighted to welcome Mike and Marc to Ethtry’s Advisory Board. Their international backgrounds, deep sector knowledge and broad networks will be invaluable to us as we advance our strategic ambitions. We believe their involvement will significantly strengthen our capacity to execute on both our treasury-management and business-development objectives.”

The Directors of the Company accept responsibility for the contents of this announcement.
