DDC Enterprise Limited (DDC) appointed Kyu Ho as chief of staff to strengthen its executive leadership team, according to a company statement. The Asian food and digital asset platform also announced the launch of two bitcoin-focused advisory councils.

Ho brings over 20 years of experience in traditional finance and digital assets investing. He serves as co-founder and managing partner at Initial Ventures, an early-stage crypto investment firm, and previously led thematic investing in Asia at CPP Investments, a C$700 billion Canadian pension fund. His background includes senior roles at hedge funds Kingdon Capital and Value Partners, and he founded Wuzhu Asia Partners where he served as chief investment officer.

In his new role, Ho will oversee DDC’s bitcoin accumulation strategy, treasury yield optimization, and institutional custodian network management. He holds a bachelor’s degree in economics from Northwestern University and an MBA from The Wharton School at University of Pennsylvania.

DDC launched the Bitcoin Visionary Council, a strategic advisory body for the company’s bitcoin treasury operations. Yat Siu, co-founder and executive chairman of Animoca Brands, was appointed as the inaugural member. The company also established the Bitcoin Influence Collective, an advisory group that includes founding members Adrian Morris, Lemar Ashhar, Magdalena Gronowska, and Tim Kotzman.

"Kyu’s unique cross-sector expertise and conviction in Bitcoin make him an essential addition to the top management at DDC as we continue our laser focused-execution," said Norma Chu, founder, chairwoman, and CEO of DDC.

DDC operates as both a global Asian food platform with brands including DayDayCook, Nona Lim, and Yai’s Thai, while positioning bitcoin as a core reserve asset in its treasury strategy.
