- Former Binance.US compliance executive Tammy Weinrib joins Copper as chief compliance officer for Americas.
- Weinrib will lead U.S. licensing efforts as part of Copper’s strategic pivot away from the UK toward America, Europe, and Middle East markets.
- The appointment follows Copper’s withdrawal from UK registration process and aligns with the company’s broader expansion under new global CEO Amar Kuchinad.
Cryptocurrency custody firm Copper has appointed former Binance.US executive Tammy Weinrib as its new chief compliance officer and Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) officer for the Americas, marking a significant step in the company’s U.S. expansion strategy.
Based in New York, Weinrib will spearhead the firm’s licensing initiatives across the American market while joining Copper’s executive leadership team. Her appointment represents the latest development in Copper’s strategic U.S. growth plans following Amar Kuchinad’s installation as global CEO in October 2023.
“Her appointment marks an important step forward as we accelerate our growth strategy and expand our offering to traditional finance,” stated Kuchinad in the company’s announcement.
Weinrib brings substantial cryptocurrency compliance experience, having previously served in the same role at Binance.US and before that at crypto exchange Gemini. Her career trajectory includes significant traditional finance experience with positions at Wall Street institutions including Citi, The Royal Bank of Scotland, and Standard Chartered before transitioning to the digital asset sector.
The executive appointment aligns with Copper’s broader strategic realignment. In December, the company withdrew its application for registration with UK financial regulators as part of a deliberate pivot toward other global markets. This strategic shift has directed the company’s focus specifically toward expanding in the United States, European countries, and Middle Eastern regions.
As a cryptocurrency custody provider, Copper offers institutional-grade security and infrastructure for digital asset storage, a critical service for organizations entering the cryptocurrency ecosystem that require robust security protocols and regulatory compliance.
