    <p>Brian Shroder, the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="chief" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/chief.html">chief</a> exec of <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Binance US" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/binance-us.html">Binance US</a>, has stepped down and been temporarily replaced by <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="chief" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/chief.html">chief</a> legal officer Norman Reed, as the firm cuts one-third of its employees amid mounting <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="regulatory" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/regulatory.html">regulatory</a> scrutiny.</p> 
    <p>Shroder’s departure comes hot on the heels of other Binance top executives leaving, including head of Eastern Europe and Russia, Gleb Kostarev, and global head of product, Mayur Kamat. The global crypto exchange is embroiled in numerous regulatory crackdowns and investigations by the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), Justice Department, and Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), into money laundering, mishandling customer funds, ignoring sanctions, and more.</p> 
    <p>Binance US has also decided to cut another round of employees, this time more than 100 people. A spokesperson said in a statement that the move was a direct result of regulatory pressure in the US.</p> 
    <p>“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,” they said.</p>
