Pepperstone has appointed Nigel Fernandes as its new Chief Technology Officer, effective October 1, 2026. This move comes as the Melbourne-based broker continues to expand its operations into the cryptocurrency market.

The company launched a dedicated crypto exchange in February 2026, offering trading pairs such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum, Solana, USDC, and USDT against the Australian dollar.

Fernandes will oversee the global technology operations of Pepperstone, focusing on developing and owning more of its own technology. This shift reflects the broker's increasing focus on building out its tech capabilities in-house.
