Melanion Digital Appoints Charlene Fadirepo to its Supervisory Board

PARIS, FRANCE – December 8, 2025 - Melanion Digital today announced the appointment of Charlene Fadirepo to its Supervisory Board. Her expertise in governance, regulatory strategy, and Bitcoin treasury considerations will support Melanion Digital as the company continues to deepen its institutional-grade approach to digital-asset investment.

Charlene joins the firm at a key moment as Melanion Digital continues to consolidate its position as a European reference in Bitcoin financial engineering, with activities spanning proprietary Bitcoin strategies, professional-investor fund vehicles, and structured digital-asset solutions.

Earlier this year, Sigma Management Lux completed its registration under Article 3(3) of the Luxembourg AIFM regime (“sub-threshold AIFM”), allowing it to operate within the European AIFM framework and manage alternative investment fund vehicles for professional investors.

"Charlene brings a rare combination of institutional governance experience, regulatory insight, and practical understanding of Bitcoin treasury implementation," said Cyril Sabbagh Founder of Melanion Digital and former Head of Equity Derivatives Trading at Oddo and Exane Derivatives, as well as initiator of Europe’s first UCITS Bitcoin-equities ETF. "Her expertise will help us further reinforce our governance, risk management and compliance frameworks as we continue building a robust, institutional-quality Bitcoin platform."

Melanion Digital’s leadership team also includes Gian Luca Fetta Head of Trading, previously Head of Global Derivatives Trading at Société Générale and FX Trading at Santander. His background in crypto options and structured strategies supports the firm’s proprietary Bitcoin activities across derivatives and blockchain-native instruments, powered by in-house technology designed to optimise diversification and execution.

"Melanion Digital has taken a thoughtful and structured approach to digital-asset strategies within a regulated European environment," said Fadirepo. "I look forward to supporting the company as it strengthens its governance and helps institutions understand how Bitcoin can be integrated responsibly through rigorous operational frameworks."

Through this appointment, Melanion Digital reinforces its commitment to robust governance, AML/CFT standards, operational discipline, and institutional transparency—foundational elements of the firm’s long-term strategy.

Analyst: Bitcoin can reclaim $100K without a new narrative

Bitcoin has stalled below the $100,000 threshold, marking a run of almost five months without a breakout above that level. As of the latest market close, BTC hovered around $78,250 after a February nadir of about $60,000, underscoring a slow, grinding recovery amid broader market dynamics. In parallel, tech markets—especially AI-focused equities—have captured the spotlight, with investors rotating capital away from crypto in search of different risk-reward profiles. Nvidia (NVDA), the leading AI stock by market cap, has gained about 5.08% since the start of the year, while Bitcoin has faced a roughly 10% dip over the same period, illustrating a diverging performance within risk assets. MN Trading Capital founder Michael van de Poppe suggested that Bitcoin may not require a fresh narrative to push back above $100,000.
