Stéphanie Cabossioras has stepped down from her role as the executive director of Binance France, becoming at least the 10th senior executive to leave Binance this year.
In an Oct. 19 post on X (formerly known as Twitter), Binance France President David Prinçay confirmed Cabossioras’ departure and expressed his gratitude for her work at the exchange.
Nous remercions Stéphanie pour sa forte contribution à Binance France et lui souhaitons le meilleur pour son prochain défi.

“We thank Stéphanie for her strong contribution to Binance France and wish her the best for her next challenge,” wrote Prinçay.
Cabossioras first joined Binance in April 2022, acting as head of legal at the French arm of the crypto exchange, before being promoted to Executive Director in November the same year.
Before joining Binance, Cabossioras was the General Counsel at Autorité des marchés financiers, the organization responsible for much of the financial regulation in the Canadian province of Quebec.
Cointelegraph contacted Binance for further context of Cabossioras’ departure but did not receive a response by the time of publication.

Binance’s France arm fell under local investigation in June, with the Paris Prosecutor’s Office citing “acts of aggravated money laundering” among a litany of other charges as the basis for the investigation.
With her departure, Cabossioras adds her name to a roster of at least 10 senior executives to leave Binance over the course of this year alone.
On July 6, three executives announced their respective departures, including; chief strategy officer Patrick Hilman, general counsel Han Ng and Steve Milton, Binance’s global vice president of marketing and communications.
Binance CEO Changpeng “CZ” Zhao addressed these departures on July 7, describing them as normal parts of his company’s evolution, while dismissing reports on them as FUD, an acronym that stands for; “fear, uncertainty and doubt.”
