    <p>A sixth Binance executive has announced their resignation, adding to the troubled crypto exchange’s woes.</p> 
    <p>On Monday, it was confirmed that Mayur Kamat, <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Binance" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/binance.html">Binance</a>’s global head of product, would be leaving after just over 16 months.&nbsp;</p> 
    <p>Explaining his departure, Kamat told The Block, “I have worked closely with product leads to ensure a seamless transition. It is also a good time for me personally to take some time off after 20 years of non-stop product work.” </p> 
    <p>He thanked Binance, its chief exec Changpeng Zhao (CZ), and the leadership team for “an experience of a lifetime.”</p>
