Asiff Hirji to leave the largest US exchange
Bitcoin has been on fire in the past two weeks but all wasn't well at Coinbase. Chief Operating Officer and President Asiff Hirji decided to leave after just 18 months at the exchange.
He joined Coinbase from Andreessen Horowitz, where he was a partner and after terms at Hewlett-Packard, Saxo Bank and TD Ameritrade. He is one of several top executives who have recently left.
Emilie Choi will take over the role. She joined CoinBase in March after eight years at LinkedIn including as VP of Corporate Development.
For his part, Hirji hinted that his time at Coinbase was always meant to be temporary.
