Binance co-CEO Yi He said Ng's departure followed more than five years at the exchange and a transition plan implemented over the previous six months. Ng had held the CFO title since January 2022.
The change was announced shortly after Binance disclosed a major cryptocurrency theft. Reuters reported that Binance has promised to reimburse affected customers, but the company did not describe the leadership handover as a response to the breach.
