 <p>Binance has named its head of regional markets outside of the U.S., Richard Teng, as its new CEO. The change comes as founder and former CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao has resigned and plead guilty to charges levied against him by the U.S. Department of Justice.&nbsp;</p>

The resulting settlement will cost the company $4.3 billion dollars and, reportedly, bars CZ from serving as an executive at any cryptocurrency companies. He won’t have to give u his shares, however, and will apparently serve no jail time.</p>
