Veda Names TuongVy Le, Former SEC and Anchorage Digital Executive, as General Counsel

Veda, a vault infrastructure platform leader, has appointed TuongVy Le as General Counsel to drive growth with regulatory clarity. Le brings extensive experience spanning over 15 years in financial regulation, crypto, and securities law from senior positions at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Anchorage Digital, and Bain Capital Crypto.

The announcement of Le’s appointment coincides with Veda’s rapid expansion, securing assets valued at over $4 billion. Vaults have transitioned from being a niche sector to a vital component in finance over the past year. They not only empower DeFi protocols to introduce yield products but also provide institutions with unique yield strategies. Veda’s BoringVault standard, leading the way in DeFi, is highly flexible and customizable, offering support for various blockchains, assets, and tactics unlike many other vault platforms.

With increased institutional interest in on-chain products and traditional fintechs, exchanges, and custodians exploring vault-based options, Le’s presence fortifies Veda’s capability to expand with regulatory clarity and trust in the long run. This emerges as a tremendous opportunity with the rising adoption of stablecoins within the financial system following the enactment of the GENIUS Act, and treasury firms investigating yield-bearing techniques to enhance investor value. Le’s appointment arrives at an opportune moment to satisfy this demand. Her extensive background spanning public and private sectors equips her to steer Veda through the rapidly shifting regulatory environment while establishing the legal and operational groundwork essential to support institutional adoption at scale.

Le most recently held roles as General Counsel and Corporate Secretary at Anchorage Digital, the pioneering federally chartered crypto bank in the U.S. Preceding this, she spearheaded policy and regulatory initiatives as Partner and Head of Regulatory & Policy at Bain Capital’s premier crypto investment fund. Earlier in her career, she spent over five years at the SEC, contributing to the Division of Enforcement and the Office of Legislative & Intergovernmental Affairs, where she influenced U.S. policies regarding digital assets and financial markets.

Stephanie Vaughan, COO, and Co-Founder of Veda, remarked on Le’s multifaceted perspective on crypto regulation from her diverse background, essential for Veda’s collaborations with exchanges, custodians, and asset managers. As Veda advances globally, Le will oversee legal, compliance, and policy functions, collaborating closely with partners and regulators across various jurisdictions.

Le emphasized the increasing momentum among institutions and fintechs transitioning into DeFi. She highlighted Veda’s understanding of the necessary technical and legal support to facilitate this transition. Her primary objective is to guarantee that the platform aligns with industry expectations.
