Samir Shah, JPMorgan Chase's former head of asset management sales, has left the bank to take up the position of chief operating officer at cryptocurrency-focused investment firm Pantera Capital.

In a LinkedIn post, Shah said that after 12 fantastic years with JPMorgan, spanning roles in sales, strategy and digital, he was ready to start a new professional chapter.

"I am pleased to announce that I will be joining Pantera Capital as the chief operating officer. Pantera is a leading investor in blockchain technology, and I'm looking forward to working with Dan Morehead, Joey Krug and the rest of the team!" Shah wrote in his post.

In April, Pantera announced plans to close a blockchain fund with about $1.3 billion in committed capital.
