Citi's long-standing global head of foreign exchange, Itay Tuchman, has left the bank after more than two decades.

The top exec was one of the chief architects of a push into digital assets within the institution, and while his destination is not yet clear, a source with close knowledge of the matter told The Block he is set for a role in digital assets. 

Stuart Staley has been serving as co-head of forex alongside Tuchman since earlier this year, and with his departure, will become sole head of the department.
