Före detta vd för Binance.US Brian Brooks går med i 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 har gjort en anmärkningsvärd återgång till kryptoindustrin och gått med i styrelsen för Hashdex, en kapitalförvaltare som fokuserar på kryptovaluta. Detta kommer nästan två år efter att den tidigare tillförordnade valutakontrollören för USA:s regering lämnade sin roll på Binance.US VD med hänvisning till skillnader över strategisk inriktning. Han tillbringade bara fyra månader på börsen innan han slutade.
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 fungerade också som Coinbase’s chefsjurist från 2018 till 2020 och som VD för Bitfury från oktober 2021 till december 2022. Hashdex hoppas to rely on Book’s vast experience in “financial regulation and the crypto industry” as a member of its board.
Som reaktion på hans utnämning på Hashdex sa Brooks,
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.
