Bitwise has appointed Max Shannon as a Senior Research Associate within its European research team reinforcing the firm's commitment to research and investor education, aimed at making crypto assets more widely accessible.

Shannon brings a strong background in token analysis, crypto equities, and data-driven research, and will play a key role in expanding Bitwise’s thought leadership in crypto investing.

Prior to joining Bitwise, Shannon served as a Crypto & Equity Research Analyst at CoinShares, where he specialised in liquid tokens and publicly listed crypto-related companies. His expertise in Python programming and his hands-on experience analysing large financial datasets make him a strong fit for Bitwise’s data-centric research approach.

In his new role, Shannon will report directly to Dr André Dragosch, Head of Research, Europe at Bitwise.
