Former SEC Director Brett Redfearn Left Coinbase After 4 Months

Former SEC Director Brett Redfearn left crypto exchange Coinbase after 4 months of working at the crypto company giant so let’s find out more in our latest Coinbase news.

The departure of the Coinbase VP of capital markets shows there’s a strategy shift within the publicly traded exchange. Coinbase VP of Capital Markets Brett Redfearn who is also a former SEC director left Coinbase after four months on the job. The Wall Street Journal was the first to initially reported that Redfearn is leaving the Securities and Exchange Commission at the end of July.

The rift points to a strategy shift in the publicly traded crypto exchange as sources said, with Coinbase deciding to shift its priorities away from the digital-asset securities. The source with knowledge of the situation said that the shift reflected the growing consumer demand for access to decentralized finance while they are looking to prioritize Defi but ended up deprioritizing the digital asset securities area. The split with Redfearn came as actions in Washington cast doubt whether the tokenized stocks comply with the regulatory framework. Binance for example was hit hard for its securities product and discontinued the product in July.

Redfearn’s hire was announced in March a few weeks before Coinbase went public in its heavily anticiapted debut on the Nasdaq stock exchange.
