Binance has had a handful of leadership shake-ups after Changpeng Zhao, the company’s founder and former CEO, was asked to step down as part of a settlement deal with the US Department of Justice. Zhao is set to be sentenced at the end of this month.

Binance’s current CEO, who was appointed in November last year, wrote in a blog post that regulation and compliance work are necessary steps in ensuring stability and security in crypto-economic ecosystems.
