Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo is starting a second act: Helping cryptocurrency exchange operator OKX and the owner of the New York Stock Exchange build a new business that merges digital and traditional finance markets. 

Cuomo, who has advised OKX on policy matters including a federal investigation that the firm pleaded guilty to, will co-chair a joint venture between OKX and Intercontinental Exchange Inc., the companies announced Monday. Trabue Bland, ICE’s senior vice president of futures exchanges, will be the other chair.
