Binance CEO Encourages Ignoring FUD Surrounding Management Changes at Binance.US
Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) has taken to Twitter to address the recent management changes at Binance.US, urging followers to “ignore FUD” (fear, uncertainty, and doubt). This comes after three executives left the exchange earlier this week, mirroring similar departures from the international exchange.
Tweet Addressing Management Changes
In a tweet, CZ acknowledged the speculation surrounding the recent management changes at Binance.US. He mentioned that CEO Brian Shroder had left the company but assured followers that Shroder was taking a well-deserved break after accomplishing his goals during his two-year tenure. CZ expressed gratitude for Shroder’s contributions.
Appointment of Norman Reed
Norman Reed, a former member of the SEC and New York Federal Reserve, has taken over as CEO of Binance.US. CZ believes Reed’s government experience will be valuable in navigating the challenging regulatory landscape in the crypto industry today.
Additional Departures
The Wall Street Journal reported that Krishna Juvvadi, Binance.US’s legal head, and Sidney Majalya, Chief Risk Officer, have also left their positions. These departures follow a series of similar events at Binance in July, raising concerns about internal conflicts within the company.
CZ Dismisses Concerns as FUD
Hedge fund manager Travis Kling recently published a tweet outlining what he called Binance’s “implosion timeline,” highlighting negative events and red flags. However, CZ dismissed this post as “FUD” for failing to consider positive developments at the exchange.
Hot Take: Binance CEO CZ Remains Confident Amidst Management Changes
Despite the recent management changes and departures at Binance.US, CZ maintains his optimism and encourages followers to disregard any fear, uncertainty, and doubt. He acknowledges the contributions of the outgoing executives and expresses confidence in the appointment of Norman Reed as the new CEO. CZ’s dismissal of concerns as “FUD” suggests that he believes Binance will overcome any challenges it faces. As the crypto industry continues to evolve and face regulatory hurdles, CZ’s message aims to reassure investors and maintain trust in the exchange.
