The chief strategy officer of cryptocurrency exchange Bitfinex is leaving the company.
“As Bitfinex pivots away from the U.S., I felt that, as a U.S. person, it was time for me to rethink my position as a member of the executive team,” Phil Potter said in an emailed statement. He’s also stepping down from the same role at Bitfinex affiliate Tether Ltd., which issues a digital token.
