Already this year Binance has been named as a counterparty in an order against crypto exchange Bitzlato, which was accused of laundering $700 million by authorities in the U.S., and seen stablecoin issuer Paxos cease minting the Binance-branded BUSD following an investigation by the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS).
Perlman's appointment follows that of Steven Christie, former Kraken head of compliance, as its senior vice president (SVP) of compliance last May. Binance founder and CEO Changpeng Zhao said in September the exchange planned to hire "a few hundred more compliance people."
The exchange has been keen to demonstrate its commitment to this area of its business since it was subject to a slew of warnings from central banks and regulators in 2021.
Binance did not respond to CoinDesk's request for further comment on Perlman's hire.

From FTX debris to global finance: Solana’s 2026 plan is all about the application layer
Resilience built from the debris of 2022 is now shaping the Solana ecosystems future, leaders from Jupiter, Backpack, Kamino and DoubleZero argued at Consensus Hong Kong 2026.
What to know:
- A few years after the collapse of FTX nearly took it down by association, Solana’s core builders say the network’s next phase will be defined not by survival, but by scaling into global finance.
- While Solana became known during the last cycle for memecoin mania and speculative trading, the next chapter will center on bringing more traditional finance onchain, panellists argued at Consensus Hong Kong 2026.
- Upcoming upgrades aimed at reducing latency and improving confirmation times are expected to strengthen Solana’s pitch as a high-performance, general-purpose execution layer. But the panel cautioned against complacency.
