Binance Compliance Chief Quits Amid Executive Leadership Shakeup

Binance is experiencing a significant turnover within its executive ranks following the resignation of Chief Compliance Officer Noah Perlman. His departure marks the latest exit in an ongoing series of senior compliance staff changes at the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange.

Perlman joined the firm to lead its regulatory and compliance strategy following Binance’s high-profile criminal settlement with U.S. authorities. His exit comes as the exchange continues to navigate the complex legal and oversight requirements mandated by that agreement, which concluded a long-standing probe into the company’s operations.

While Binance has not provided specific details regarding the transition or the timeline for a successor, the departure highlights the internal adjustments occurring as the company shifts its operational focus toward global regulatory compliance. The exchange has been actively restructuring its leadership team to align with these new legal obligations and to address the stringent monitoring requirements imposed by the settlement. The exit also follows the departures of other key personnel in the compliance department, raising questions about the stability of the team responsible for managing the company's relationship with international regulators.
