Binance.US Hires Compliance Lawyer as New CEO

Binance.US has appointed compliance lawyer Stephen Gregory as its new chief executive, replacing Norman Reed on March 9; Reed will move into an advisory role. Gregory is the former CEO of Currency.com and previously served as compliance chief and counsel at CEX.IO and as a compliance officer for Gemini.

“I am honored to lead the Binance.US team as we write the next chapter for the best platform for U.S. crypto investors,” Gregory said. “The Binance.US brand is extremely powerful, with a founder, Changpeng Zhao (CZ), who has continuously advocated to make the US the crypto capital of the world.” Binance.US was sued by the Securities and Exchange Commission in 2023 amid allegations it failed to register as an exchange and faced other charges; the SEC dismissed its case against the company with prejudice in May.

Just over a year ago the exchange reinstated U.S. dollar deposits and withdrawals after operating as a crypto-only platform following the lawsuit.
