Binance.US cuts third of staff as CEO Brian Shroder leaves: Report

Binance.US, the United States arm of the crypto exchange has reportedly cut around a third of its staff — or 100 positions — with its president and CEO Brian Shroder also departing the firm.

On Sep. 13, Bloomberg reported, citing a Binance.US spokesperson, that Shroder was replaced on an interim basis by chief legal officer Norman Reed.

Shroder joined Binance.US in September 2021 and his departure comes amid a slew of regulatory actions taken against the firm in recent months.

Earlier this year, the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission sued Binance, Binance.US, and its co-founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao alleging it operated an illegal exchange, sold unregistered securities, violated commodities laws and mishandled customer funds.

Binance.US did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

This is a developing story, and further information will be added as it becomes available.
