“As chief legal and risk officer during a time of tremendous growth for Coinbase, Mike was instrumental in building the company’s legal and compliance functions and driving our vision of trust through compliance. We wish him the best in his new position with Andreessen Horowitz,” Coinbase was quoted as saying.

Coinbase has seen a couple of notable departures in recent weeks. In late October, former head of trading Hunter Merghart left just after six months on the job.

Adam White, one of the most senior executives and fifth-ever employee at Coinbase also left the same month. He had been vice president and general manager of Coinbase Institutional.

There have been hirings too. Back in September, Coinbase took on former Fannie Mae executive Brian Brooks as its new chief legal officer.

To recruit and retain diverse talent, the exchange has this year taken the unusual and expensive step of offering cover of up to $5,000 a year for perks like egg-freezing, over and above its existing health insurance options.

When adjusted for asset market capitalization SOL's relative futures volume looks better, K33 Research noted.

Cosa sapere:

  • Solana's SOL futures began trading on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) on Monday, with a notional daily volume of $12.3 million and $7.8 million in open interest, significantly lower than the debuts of bitcoin (BTC) and ether (ETH) futures.
  • Despite the seemingly lackluster debut, when adjusted to market value, SOL's first-day figures are more in line with BTC's and ETH's, according to K33 Research.
  • Despite the bearish market conditions, the launch of CME SOL futures offers new ways for institutions to manage their exposure to the token, said Joshua Lim of FalconX.
