L'ancien PDG de Binance.US, Brian Brooks, rejoint Hashdex

  • Brian Brooks served as the former CEO of Binance.US and Coinbase’s chief legal officer.
  • A recent filing by the SEC revealed that Brooks left his role at Binance.US due to Changpeng Zhao’s continued influence at the exchange. 

Brian Brooks a fait un retour remarquable dans l'industrie de la cryptographie en rejoignant le conseil d'administration de Hashdex, un gestionnaire d'actifs qui se concentre sur la crypto-monnaie. Cela survient près de deux ans après que l'ancien contrôleur par intérim de la monnaie du gouvernement des États-Unis a quitté son poste chez Binance. Le PDG américain invoquant des divergences sur l'orientation stratégique. Il n'a passé que quatre mois à l'échange avant de l'appeler quitte. 

Brooks replaced Catherine Coley as CEO of Binance.US in 2021. However, his short stay at the exchange raised concerns over Binance’s operations. Interestingly, the SEC’s filing in June claimed Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao denied Brooks the authority to oversee the U.S. exchange.

Brooks a également servi de Coinbase’s directeur juridique de 2018 à 2020 et PDG de Bitfury d'octobre 2021 à décembre 2022. Hashdex espère to rely on Book’s vast experience in “financial regulation and the crypto industry” as a member of its board. 

Réagissant à sa nomination chez Hashdex, Brooks a déclaré :

Crypto assets are changing the economics of nearly every industry across the globe, allowing individuals to have an ownership stake in the networks in which they participate. I look forward to helping Hashdex deliver on their vision of bridging the divide between traditional financial markets and the crypto economy.”

Brooks currently works as a managing partner at Valor Capital Group, a venture capital group that has previously funded crypto businesses through several investment rounds. Brooks will support Hashdex with strategic counsel to “accelerate Hashdex’s continued growth in global markets.”

Hashdex co-founder Marcelo Sampaio remarked that Brook’s “proven ability to push forward a thoughtful, innovation-driven public is much needed at this time.” Sampaio added that Brian’s “extensive experience as a leader in financial regulation and the crypto industry will help Hashdex meet our core mission of giving investors simple and secure access to the developing crypto ecosystem.”

Hashdex will hope that Brook’s experience will further expand its influence in the crypto market amidst the changing regulatory climate.
