The company said on Tuesday its chief executive, Brian Shroder, would leave and it would cut more than 100 jobs — roughly a third of its headcount.
The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in June filed a civil complaint against the world's largest crypto exchange, Binance, and its founder Changpeng Zhao, accusing them of creating Binance.US as part of a «web of deception» to evade securities laws aimed at protecting US investors.
Binance has also seen a number of executive exits. Its global head of product, Mayur Kamat, resigned early this month and its chief strategy officer, Patrick Hillmann, left in July.
