Binance.US announced the appointment of Stephen Gregory as chief executive officer, effective March 9, 2026, marking a leadership transition as the U.S.-regulated cryptocurrency platform seeks to accelerate its growth and expand its offerings for digital asset investors.
Gregory brings extensive experience in digital assets and regulatory compliance, having previously served as U.S. CEO of cryptocurrency trading platform Currency.com, where he helped lead the company through its acquisition in 2025. A lawyer by training, he has also held compliance leadership roles at Gemini and CEX.io, building a reputation as an expert in digital asset regulation and infrastructure.
The leadership change also sees Norman Reed stepping down as CEO. Reed will continue working with the company as a senior advisor, supporting the next phase of development for the platform.
Binance.US said the appointment comes as the company continues to strengthen its presence in the United States while expanding its product ecosystem. Over the past year, the platform introduced features such as Boost, staking services, and a revamped referral program, and it plans to expand its Earn suite while developing new gateways that connect users to decentralized finance and the broader tokenized asset ecosystem.
The company positions itself as a licensed and regulated cryptocurrency platform in the United States and currently offers access to more than 190 cryptocurrencies with a focus on low trading fees and secure digital asset services.
Binance.US said the leadership shift is intended to support its long-term strategy of expanding crypto adoption and improving access to blockchain-based financial tools for U.S. investors.
