  • Wei Lan was head of product and ran the trading desk at the second-largest exchange by volume, according to a person familiar with the setup.

Two long-term executives at OKX, the second largest cryptocurrency exchange globally, have recently departed. Tim Byun, who managed global government relations, and Wei Lan, in charge of the product team, are among those who have left the company, according to reliable sources.

From 2018 to 2020, Byun served as the CEO for Okcoin’s American branch. Afterward, she transitioned into a government relations position.

A source close to the matter revealed that Wei Lan played a significant role in managing the day-to-day operations at OKX’s trading desk.

The exchange group is currently unifying its components under the OKX brand, moving towards phasing out the separate US brand. More recently, OKX Global Compliance Chief Patrick Donegan departed in January, having been with the company for only half a year.

OKX declined to comment. Byun and Lan did not respond to requests for comment.
