Cryptocurrency exchange Luno's co-founder and chief technology officer (CTO), Timothy Stranex, exited in December to "pursue personal projects," the firm told CoinDesk Thursday.

Stranex's departure came nearly 10 years after he founded the company with Carel van Wyk, Pieter Heyns and current CEO Marcus Swanepoel. He's been replaced as CTO by Simon Ince, who joined Luno just under two years ago as its vice president of engineering.
