Foresight Ventures, the company’s majority owner, has committed an additional $10 million in growth capital to support the next phase of expansion.
Chung joins from Azuki, where he served as Chief Operating Officer. His career spans finance, media and technology, including roles as inaugural Chief Growth Officer at Fox Corporation, Chief Digital Officer at Fox TV Stations, Chief Executive Officer of CJ ENM America, and analyst positions at Goldman Sachs. Larry Cermak continues as President, overseeing research, data and product innovation.
The Block’s strategic focus under Chung centers on three areas: scaling institutional research and data products, expanding enterprise sales globally, and applying AI to enhance its information offerings. The company aims to capture institutional research budgets as crypto markets converge with traditional financial infrastructure and major institutions increase digital-asset exposure.
