L'ex CEO di Binance.US Brian Brooks si unisce a 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 ha fatto un notevole ritorno nel settore delle criptovalute, unendosi al consiglio di amministrazione di Hashdex, un asset manager che si concentra sulla criptovaluta. Ciò avviene quasi due anni dopo che l'ex controllore ad interim della valuta per il governo degli Stati Uniti ha lasciato il suo ruolo in Binance.Il CEO degli Stati Uniti cita differenze sulla direzione strategica. Ha trascorso solo quattro mesi allo scambio prima di chiuderlo. 

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 ha anche servito come Coinbase’s chief legal officer dal 2018 al 2020 e come CEO di Bitfury da ottobre 2021 a dicembre 2022. Hashdex speranze to rely on Book’s vast experience in “financial regulation and the crypto industry” as a member of its board. 

Reagendo alla sua nomina ad Hashdex, Brooks ha dichiarato:

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.
