Binance.US has recruited Uber Technologies Inc.'s former regulatory and compliance leader to serve as vice president, head of legal for the stateside arm of the global cryptocurrency exchange. 

Krishna Juvvadi, who was Uber's first regulatory attorney, will now lead the daily operations of the San Francisco-based legal department for Binance.US while reporting to general counsel Norman Reed, who took up the reins of the company's U.S. legal team late last year.
