According to a business spokeswoman, US Chief Executive Officer Brian Shroder of Binance has departed the cryptocurrency trading site and has been temporarily taken over by Chief Legal Officer Norman Reed.
The departure occurs as a governmental crackdown destroys the company run by troubled digital entrepreneur Changpeng “CZ” Zhao, which is cutting around one-third of its staff, or over one hundred roles. BAM Trading Services, the trading platform’s official name, was launched in 2019 for American customers who are unable to use Binance Holdings.
The company based in Miami has slashed jobs again this year as a result of a growing number of legal and operational issues.
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) charged Zhao, Binance Holdings, and Binance.US in June with violating securities laws, mishandling customer cash, and deceiving investors and authorities. The claims have been refuted by Zhao and the businesses.
The US Commodity Futures Trading Commission accused Binance and Zhao of wilful defiance of federal law in March. The Justice Department is also looking into Binance; it has not charged the business with any violation.
Due to several banking partners suspending relations with the platform soon following the SEC action, consumers of Binance (United States) were incapable to make deposits or withdraw dollars. For users of Binance (United States) to change dollars into cryptocurrency, the company was forced to employ a different approach.
As reported by an analyst, Jacob Joseph, Binance US’s percentage of the worldwide market has decreased to about 0.6 percent from roughly 2.39 in April. According to him, the monthly volume of trading has decreased from early 2020 levels.

“The actions we are taking today provide Binance.US with more than seven years of financial runway and enable us to continue to serve our customers while we operate as a crypto-only exchange,” a spokesperson said in a statement. “The SEC’s aggressive attempts to cripple our industry and the resulting impacts on our business have real world consequences for American jobs and innovation, and this is an unfortunate example of that.”
