Binance has recruited a senior official from the UK’s regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
Leading crypto-asset trading platform Binance has recruited Steven McWhirter, a senior FCA official. After nine years at FCA, McWhirter will now serve as Director of Global Regulatory Policies at Binance. In his post on LinkedIn, McWhirter said:
“During my time at FCA, I have enjoyed working with the many major regulators, firms, and global organizations who have given me an important role in policy making at such a fascinating time, I have been very fortunate to be involved in many national, European and global policy initiatives and debates, particularly regarding the financial services regulation of technology.”
Another striking and similar announcement this week was that the Bank of England fintech head left to join Fireblocks.
