As Binance seeks to beef up its regulatory controls, the cryptocurrency infrastructure provider hires Aron Akbiyikian as director of Audit and Investigations. Akbiyikian joins the company from TRM Labs and previously worked at Chainalysis, where he investigated and helped to prevent criminals from using the blockchain. At Binance, he'll focus on identifying bad actors attempting to use the company's platform and tracking their movements across the blockchain to help law enforcement agencies around the world take them down, the company said. As the world's largest crypto exchange comes under pressure from regulatory authorities around the world, Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao said in July that the company will look for a leader with strong regulatory experience when he decides to step aside.
