Dallas-based Digital Wealth Partners, a firm specializing in digital asset investment management, has appointed Max Kahn as its new chief executive.
Kahn transitions from his role as chief compliance officer, where he played a pivotal role in shaping the company’s compliance framework and strategic direction.
Founder Jake Claver said Kahn “brings a deep background in financial services, especially in areas tied to digital assets, which positions him well to lead us into this next chapter of progress and fresh thinking. Max has already had a noticeable impact through both his direction and the way he sees the bigger picture, and I’m confident he’ll keep pushing Digital Wealth Partners forward to new heights.”
Kahn has more than a decade of experience in financial services and business strategy. Before Digital Wealth Partners, he was director of strategy at Digital Asset Research and at YieldX, where he led institutional partnerships, product launches, and compliance processes. Earlier in his career, Kahn was director of futures operations at National Securities Corporation, focusing on investment platform optimization and risk management.
At Digital Wealth Partners, Kahn has been instrumental in launching groundbreaking indexes and financial solutions, contributing thought leadership on digital asset strategies, the firm said. As CEO, Kahn will focus on scaling the company’s infrastructure, launching innovative products, and expanding its client base at the intersection of traditional and digital wealth management.
“Since onboarding our first clients in late 2024, we have achieved remarkable growth, and I’m excited to lead this talented team as we continue to innovate and serve our clients with integrity and purpose,” Kahn said in a statement. “This next chapter is about scaling with intention, serving with purpose, and continuing to lead with integrity in an evolving space. The work is already well underway, and I’m excited to keep building with this incredible team.”
