Brian Brooks, the former Coinbase executive who helmed the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) under US President Donald Trump, will become CEO of Binance.US. After stepping down from the public sector on Jan. 14, 2021, crypto observers have been watching closely for where Brooks would land. In March, he joined the board of data-sharing startup Spring Labs. The Binance.US move is clearly far more significant.
“This is the company that’s most likely to give the biggest incumbent Coinbase a run for its money,” Brooks said on CoinDesk TV. “It’s the best opportunity to build a fully compliant, but product-diversified crypto platform in the U.S., and it’s a company that has been, you know, revenue and profit positive since day one because of the resourcing [it] had got at the inception.”
