In addition to the withdrawal limits placed on its customers, Wyre announced a crucial management change within the company.
Wyre announced that CEO Ioannis Gianna has transitioned into a new role as executive chairman. This is part of the major changes to the company’s management structure.
Stephen Cheng will serve as the interim Chief Executive Officer after serving as the Chief Risk Officer, and Chief Compliance Officer in recent years.
