Binance.US appoints its first Chief Risk Officer, Sidney Majalya
Binance.US, the United States' branch of the world's biggest cryptocurrency exchange, has hired Sidney Majalya from Intel Corp. as its first Chief Risk Officer, who will also serve as deputy general counsel. This step seems to be a result of increasing regulatory pressure on the firm from the SEC and also an attempt from the exchange's side to decrease the risk issues related to crypto investment.
Binance.US new hire
Majalya has attained incredible feat during his time at the world's largest semiconductor manufacturer, Intel Corp as its vice president, legal, and chief compliance officer. Furthermore, Majalya also helped Uber strengthen its legal department and served as its legal compliance department before its public listing in 2019.As per the report from Bloomberg, "Majalya will oversee risk and compliance issues and expand the group's headcount." Furthermore, Majalya believes that Binance.US is "not a company where I have to come in and do convincing about the importance of compliance," comparing it with his time at pre-IPO Uber.
Making big changes
A few months earlier in August, the former CEO of Binance.US, Brian Brooks, "a former Comptroller of the Currency during the Trump administration, resigned after just four months, citing 'differences over strategic direction.'" The new CEO of the firm was Brian Shroder, who has shown interest in the public listing of the company.Brian Shroder was earlier the president of Binance.US, and it seems that the difference in views could've been the reason why the former CEO left the firm in just four months. However, the appointment of the first Chief Risk Officer by Binance.US suggests the firm's decision to shake hands with regulatory authorities and embark upon a new journey, somewhat like Coinbase, the biggest exchange in the US.
Binance Chief Executive Officer Changpeng "CZ," Zhao said in an interview at Bloomberg's New Economy Forum last month that the firm will raise a "couple hundred" million dollars in a funding round expected to close soon. The firm has also expanded in the UAE.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
How does the 3X Value Guarantee work?
We stand behind the value of our research. If the documented upside from our published research during your 12-month membership does not exceed three times (3X) the annual subscription cost, you can request a full refund. Historical context: In every completed market cycle since 2017, cumulative documented upside has exceeded 10X this threshold.
