"Her leadership comes at a pivotal time as we expand into key markets such as Europe and U.A.E," OKX said.
The announcement comes the day after CoinDesk reported that Lacewell's predecessor, Mauricio Beugelmans, had left OKX, with his departure related to the exchange's penalties of over $500 million paid to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), according to a source familiar with the matter.
The DOJ said OKX had facilitated more than $5 billion in “suspicious transactions and criminal proceeds.”
Beugelamans told CoinDesk in an email that he left OKX to pursue another opportunity within the crypto industry.
