Directors of regional directions Gleb Kostarev and Vladimir Smerkis announced their resignation from the company, officially they were responsible for Eastern Europe and Asia. Both described their experience at #Binance as a dream job, but could not clearly explain the reasons for leaving.

There is a possibility that both top managers directed their main efforts to the Russian market. Such personnel decisions may be related to the exchange's recent history of compliance with US sanctions, and subsequent restrictions for Russians on the Binance 2P2 platform.
