Market Risk & Cover Dealing | Digital Asset Compliance

About

Thank you for your visit! I work at the intersection of traditional finance and digital assets — 7 years across FX and crypto derivatives at a major Japanese online securities firm. As a cover dealer on the market risk team, I manage client-driven exposure across 16 FX pairs and crypto CFDs: hedge execution, LP relationships, pricing parameters, swap operations, and daily P&L oversight. Recent results include outperforming our execution benchmark by 18% (~USD 95K improvement in a single half-year) and cutting crypto CFD cover costs by ~JPY 1M per month through a funding-rate cost analysis framework I built and implemented. I also conduct token research and prepare JVCEA regulatory filings for crypto listing/delisting reviews in coordination with the firm's review division — hands-on exposure to Japan's ongoing transition of crypto assets into the securities-law (FIEA) framework, one of the most significant regulatory shifts in the market today. My performance evaluation specifically notes that my knowledge and practical capability in crypto asset-related matters are at one of the highest levels within the team. On the international side, I ran counterparty evaluations with around 15 global firms under NDA, comparing pricing, liquidity, credit terms, and operational fit, and took 3 of them through to live LP integration. I also handled English-language meetings, due diligence, contract review, and trade settlement/confirmation processes. Bilingual JP/EN (TOEIC 930). Earlier, at Japan’s Immigration Services Agency, I built my foundation in regulatory precision through high-volume case review.Currently open to market risk, liquidity management, and trading-adjacent roles at globally regulated digital asset firms — as well as compliance leadership roles where front-office market understanding adds value. International scope and remote flexibility preferred.
