Бывший генеральный директор Binance.US Брайан Брукс присоединяется к 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.
Брайан Брукс блестяще вернулся в криптоиндустрию, присоединившись к совету директоров Hashdex, управляющей активами, специализирующейся на криптовалютах. Это произошло почти через два года после того, как бывший исполняющий обязанности контролера валюты правительства США оставил свою должность в Binance.US CEO, сославшись на разногласия по поводу стратегического направления. Он провел на бирже всего четыре месяца, прежде чем объявил об уходе.
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.
Брукс также служил Coinbase’s главный юрисконсульт с 2018 по 2020 год и генеральный директор Bitfury с октября 2021 года по декабрь 2022 года. надеется to rely on Book’s vast experience in “financial regulation and the crypto industry” as a member of its board.
Реагируя на свое назначение в Hashdex, Брукс сказал:
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.
