Binance.US Expands Leadership Team, Names Stephen Gregory CEO

Binance.US, the regulated U.S. cryptocurrency platform, has appointed Stephen Gregory as its new Chief Executive Officer, effective March 9, 2026. The announcement marks a leadership transition as outgoing CEO Norman Reed moves into a senior advisory role within the company.

Gregory joins Binance.US with a background in building and scaling regulated crypto infrastructure. He most recently served as U.S. CEO of Currency.com, a digital finance provider, guiding the company through its acquisition in 2025. He also held compliance leadership positions at Gemini and CEX.io and is a trained lawyer specializing in digital assets regulation.

In a statement, Gregory said he is honored to lead the Binance.US team and highlighted the strength of the brand, noting founder Changpeng Zhao's continued advocacy for the U.S. as a global crypto hub. He also thanked Reed for steering the company through a period of regulatory uncertainty and for preparing the firm to seize current market opportunities.

Reed expressed confidence in Gregory's entrepreneurial leadership, emphasizing the work done to offer a fully compliant and regulated home for digital assets in the U.S. Under Reed's tenure, Binance.US launched several new features including Boost, Staking, and a revamped Referral Program. The company recently announced plans to further expand its Earn product suite and introduce new gateways bridging DeFi and tokenized assets.

The appointment comes amid broader industry tailwinds, with Binance.US reaffirming its commitment to serving U.S. crypto investors through a licensed and regulated platform.
