<h2 id="at-a-glance">At a Glance:</h2><ul><li>Betsabe Botaitis joins P2P.org as CFO, bringing 20+ years of finance leadership across TradFi, fintech, and Web3</li><li>Her appointment strengthens P2P.org's institutional-grade financial operations as demand for reliable staking infrastructure accelerates</li><li>Botaitis previously served as CFO at Hedera, managing billions in digital assets and leading financial modernization initiatives</li><li>She will oversee finance, treasury, and operational functions to support P2P.org's continued global expansion</li></ul><p>P2P.org is strengthening its financial leadership with the appointment of Betsabe Botaitis as Chief Financial Officer. Botaitis brings more than two decades of experience building financial systems across traditional finance, fintech, and Web3—experience that positions P2P.org to scale its institutional staking operations with the rigor and transparency institutional clients demand.</p><h2 id="why-this-matters-for-institutional-staking"><strong>Why This Matters for Institutional Staking</strong></h2><p>The institutional staking landscape continues to mature. Treasury managers, asset managers, and custodians increasingly view staking as a core component of their digital asset strategies, but they need infrastructure partners who operate with the same financial discipline they expect from traditional counterparts.</p><p>Botaitis's appointment reflects P2P.org's commitment to this institutional standard. Her track record spans Citigroup, LendingClub, and most recently Hedera — where she managed hundreds of millions in fiat and billions in digital assets while modernizing treasury operations and establishing governance frameworks aligned with institutional expectations.</p><h2 id="from-traditional-finance-to-decentralized-infrastructure"><strong>From Traditional Finance to Decentralized Infrastructure</strong></h2><p>Botaitis's career path mirrors the evolution of digital asset infrastructure itself. Starting in retail banking before moving through senior finance roles at major institutions, she later co-founded and served as CFO of a blockchain company. This combination of traditional financial discipline and crypto-native understanding makes her particularly well-suited to support P2P.org's institutional clients.</p><p>Her recognition among CoinDesk's Top 50 Women in Web3 &amp; AI and as an Ambassador at Fortune's Most Powerful Women Summit reflects her standing across both traditional and decentralized finance.</p><h2 id="what-botaitis-brings-to-p2porg"><strong>What Botaitis Brings to P2P.org</strong></h2><p>At Hedera, Botaitis led the company's first financial audit, implemented enterprise risk management programs, and scaled treasury operations to meet institutional requirements. She brings hands-on experience with:</p><ul><li>Complex treasury management across fiat and digital assets</li><li>Building governance and reporting practices for regulatory environments</li><li>Scaling finance teams through periods of rapid growth</li><li>Working with boards, global partners, and institutional clients</li></ul><p>At P2P.org, she'll oversee finance, treasury, planning, and operational functions—ensuring the company's financial infrastructure continues to support both current institutional clients and future growth.</p><h2 id="supporting-p2porgs-next-chapter"><strong>Supporting P2P.org's Next Chapter</strong></h2><p>"Betsabe adds immediate strategic value as we expand across markets and deepen our global footprint," said Alex Esin, CEO of P2P.org. "Her international experience, combined with hands-on leadership through every company lifecycle stage — from early growth and M&amp;A to working with large institutions — gives us the financial leadership needed to execute our long-term vision."</p><p>For Botaitis, the opportunity aligns with her view of staking's broader role in blockchain sustainability. "P2P.org has built trusted, enterprise-class infrastructure in institutional staking, and I'm excited to support its next phase of growth, particularly as demand increases in the U.S. and Latin America," she said. "I'm passionate about how staking secures blockchain networks, fosters ecosystem sustainability, and enables decentralized financial ecosystems. I'm committed to helping accelerate our momentum, strengthening our financial architecture, and supporting sustainable growth at global scale."</p><h2 id="the-institutional-imperative"><strong>The Institutional Imperative</strong></h2><p>P2P.org operates validator infrastructure across 50+ networks with over $12 billion in staked assets. The company maintains a zero-slashing track record and 99.9% uptime while serving institutional clients who require seamless integration with custody providers, comprehensive reporting, and automated reward distribution.</p><p>As institutional adoption of staking continues to accelerate, the financial operations supporting that infrastructure matter more than ever. Treasury managers need transparent, decision-quality data. Compliance teams need audit trails that meet regulatory standards. Finance teams need partners who understand both blockchain technology and institutional financial requirements.</p><p>Botaitis's appointment strengthens P2P.org's ability to deliver on all three.</p>
