According to The Wall Street Journal, He Yi, the co-founder of cryptocurrency exchange Binance, holds at least 10% of the company’s shares. In developments involving the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), an early settlement proposal included a condition for both He Yi and CEO Changpeng Zhao (CZ) to leave their roles, which ultimately was not realized.
He Yi is known for her work-focused approach at Binance, as demonstrated by her critical assessment of the returns from a Cristiano Ronaldo sponsored event and her subsequent decision to fire the vice president responsible.
