New role to lead GTN's tokenisation strategy as more platforms bring traditional assets on-chain

DUBAI, UAE, Nov. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- GTN, the global fintech powering limitless investment, today announced the appointment of Mark Jennings as global head of digital assets. Mark will lead GTN's strategy to support tokenised securities through its global market access.

Mark joins GTN from Gemini, where, as CEO of Gemini Europe, he led the exchange's European expansion. Before that, he held senior roles at Kraken, including CEO of Crypto Facilities, its FCA-regulated derivatives venue for institutional clients.

Manjula Jayasinghe, GTN's co-founder and group CEO, said: 'We are seeing growing demand for tokenised securities, where investors can trade traditional assets on-chain, 24/7, with real-time settlement, and we expect this trend to accelerate in the years ahead. With our industry-leading multi-market, multi-asset coverage, we are well positioned to help platforms bridge traditional and digital markets. Mark brings substantial experience from the digital assets industry and will lead our efforts with the right technology, partnerships and regulatory approach.'

Mark said: 'Tokenisation is one of the most significant shifts in market infrastructure in decades. At Gemini and Kraken, I saw first-hand users' demand for traditional assets alongside crypto, and the complexity of delivering them in a robust, compliant and scalable way. GTN has already done the difficult work to connect to markets and asset classes. That puts us in a unique position to take a leading role in helping platforms bring those assets on-chain. I'm excited to lead that work with platforms across the ecosystem to bring tokenised securities to their users.'

Mark's appointment follows GTN's hire of former Saxo Bank executive Daniel Endler as its first group chief product officer in October. Together, the two appointments strengthen GTN's senior leadership as it expands its offering for financial institutions and digital asset platforms.

The acquisition brings together the best technology and expertise of both companies to reinvent Thailand's real estate experience through AI, with the ambition to automate 80% of agents' routine work.

BANGKOK, Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- PropertyScout, an AI-enabled real estate brokerage and platform with 700+ exclusive agents and a network of 8,000+ partner agents, today announced the acquisition of Superagent's technology and engineering team. The acquisition accelerates PropertyScout's AI-native brokerage platform strategy and supports its ambitions to expand across Southeast Asia.

Superagent founder Yuriy Braterskyy will join PropertyScout as Chief Product Officer.

"Buying or renting a property in Thailand remains a frustrating and often opaque experience. Many properties advertised online are no longer available or offered at outdated prices. Buyers and tenants waste time chasing listings that don't reflect reality, while traditional brokerages often rely on little or no technology to navigate the market complexities and lack the ability to deliver a trusted and seamless customer experience," said Mario Peng, CEO and Co-Founder of PropertyScout.

"We want to fundamentally change this through AI, more transparent property information, and personalized service. Our ambition is to automate 80% of agents' routine work, freeing them to focus on viewings, building meaningful human relationships, and ultimately helping people find the most suitable place to call home."

Much of the transaction process depends on manual availability checks, fragmented communication and repetitive coordination. Both PropertyScout and Superagent have developed AI technology to address these challenges. The acquisition combines property onboarding, property data verification, customer understanding, property matching, availability checks, viewing coordination and transaction workflows into a more powerful AI-native brokerage platform.

"We built Superagent around a simple idea: AI should handle repetitive work, while property professionals focus on the moments where trust and judgment matter," said Yuriy Braterskyy, Superagent founder. "Together, we can accelerate that vision by combining our technology and expertise with the scale of PropertyScout's established platform and brokerage operations."

Founded in 2020, PropertyScout is an AI-enabled real estate brokerage and technology platform in Thailand.
