Additionally, Celsius CEO Alex Mashinsky announced he was stepping down at the same time as Harrison.
“I elected to resign my post as CEO of Celsius Network today,” said Mashinky.
The CEO decided to step down as his “continued role as CEO [had] become an increasing distraction.”
Meanwhile, Avinash Shekhar, the CEO of ZebPay, quit the oldest crypto exchange in August to start a Web 3.0 company.
