Chris Tyrer - Asset Reality

Asset Reality, the world’s only platform that helps governments and authorities manage criminal, physical and digital assets in one place, has appointed Chris Tyrer to its board of directors. Chris brings with him experience from almost two decades holding senior roles at Fidelity Digital Assets and Barclays.

During his time at Fidelity, Tyrer served as President of Fidelity’s Digital Asset Management unit, before being asked to lead global efforts for the institutional business. Whilst there, Tyrer played a vital role in rapidly building out Fidelity’s digital assets business.

Prior to joining Fidelity Digital Assets, Tyrer spent over a decade working at Barclays as Global Head of Crude Oil Trading and Head of Commodities Trading, before gaining recognition for his part in leading Barclays’ cryptocurrency efforts in his new role of Head of Digital Assets Projects.
