He tweeted:

Greetings crypto community. Letting you all know that I have resigned as CEO of ⁦⁦⁦Binance US. Despite differences over strategic direction, I wish my former colleagues much success.

Responding to Brooks's announcement, Binance.US posted a message on Twitter from Changpeng Zhao, CEO of Binance and chairman of the board at Binance U.S.

"I remain confident in Binance.US's business and its commitment to serve its customers and innovate," he wrote. "This transition will not impact Binance.US customers in any way as the company will continue to deliver best-in-class products and services."

Recently, Binance has faced a series of warnings​ from regulators across the world.
