 <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Binance" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/binance.html">Binance</a>.US has announced that Changpeng Zhao, who recently resigned as the CEO of the global crypto exchange <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Binance" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/binance.html">Binance</a>, has stepped down as Chairman of the Board of Directors.
 CZ has also transferred his voting rights and will no longer be involved in the US-based crypto platform’s governance, according to a statement posted on X on Tuesday.
 <blockquote>
 “As CZ transitions to life after Binance, he has decided to step down from his role as Chairman of our Board of Directors and transferred his voting rights through a proxy arrangement, whereby his interest in the company is purely economic and he will no longer be involved in our governance,” the company said in the post.

 The update by the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Binance" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/binance.html">Binance</a>.US team also pointed out that while it may share the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Binance" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/binance.html">Binance</a> brand and technology stack with the global company that agreed a $4.3 billion settlement with the US authorities, that’s as far as it goes.
 <blockquote>
 “<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Binance" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/binance.html">Binance</a>.US is not a party to the settlements announced last week, nor do we have any outstanding enforcement matters with the DOJ, FinCEN, OFAC, or CFTC.”

 The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) sued Binance, founder Changpeng Zhao and its US affiliate Binance.US in June.
 SEC’s charges include allegations that <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Binance" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/binance.html">Binance</a> operates unregistered exchanges, broker-dealers and clearing agencies. The world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume also misrepresented trading controls to let high-value US customers trade on the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Binance" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/binance.html">Binance</a>.com platform.
 The regulator also alleged the crypto platforms offered and sold unregistered securities.&nbsp;
