Pro-crypto regulator Adrienne Harris resigns, will leave New York’s Department of Financial Services in October

Adrienne Harris is stepping down. After four years leading New York’s Department of Financial Services, the most powerful crypto regulator in the United States is leaving office this October. Her exit, confirmed Monday by Governor Kathy Hochul, brings an end to a tenure defined by crypto enforcement, consumer protection policies, and major restructuring of a state agency that went from background player to headline-grabbing powerhouse.
