According to the president of Voyager Digital, Brooks would be helpful when supporting the expansion plans for the company.
Brian Brooks, formerly the interim currency controller, former CEO of Binance.US, and currently serving as the CEO of Bitfury, has now officially joined Voyager Digital’s board of directors, thereby supporting the actions they would take.
In this case, Brooks will take over as an independent non-executive director, which becomes effective immediately, thus supporting the company that operates the app users apply to achieve exchanges of more than 70 cryptocurrencies and generate passive profits with various digital currencies.
From Binace.US to Bitfury, and now on Voyager
Brooks’s career is quite prolific. The leader is the current CEO of Bitfury since last October. He previously brought services for Binance.US for several months, but in August, he announced his departure from the said company due to strategic differences with the management team.
Brooks was also the interim comptroller of the currency in the United States, being in charge of some 3,500 officials involved in regulating around 1,200 national banks and federal savings associations. However, since he formally entered the crypto space, he has advocated for greater regulatory clarity for companies within the sector, which he highlighted recently.
Voyager Expands
The arrival of Brooks comes at a time when the company is trying to expand its scope of services while considering reaching other latitudes.
Among the closest plans, Voyager has contemplated incorporating business models associated with the NFTs. With these models, the entity intends to bring them to its broad user base so the entity might find a way to market said assets.
Other aspects linked to the DeFi ecosystem beyond the reward systems await to meet their activation. To support its international deployment, Voyager Digital scheduled the acquisition of Coinify, a cryptocurrency payments company, precisely to incorporate new functionalities and begin to break through other legislation where it operated.
Brooks’ Passage Through Binance
Originally Brooks, a former Coinbase executive who also headed the United States Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) under Donald Trump, officially arrived at Binance in late April this year, assuming the role of CEO. for the exchange’s address in the US.
At the time, Brooks expressed his enthusiasm to join the ranks of Binance, assuming one of the most vital positions for the company in the US market due to the regulatory and operational problems faced by cryptocurrency operations in the United States of America.
Although the reasons that prompted the departure of Brooks from Binance.US just over three months after he arrived at the company remain unclear, he commented that there were differences over the strategic direction for the exchange in the country.
It is worth noting that Binance has been facing operational problems beyond the US, especially in latitudes such as the United Kingdom, Canada, and some countries in both Europe and Asia.
