Zora co-founder Dee Goens becomes CEO, plans token buybacks

Dee Goens, co-founder of multichain social platform Zora, has become the company’s new CEO and plans to introduce ZORA token buybacks and rewards. Former CEO Jacob Samuel Horne is leaving the company. Goens said the buybacks and rewards are intended to return business performance to ZORA token holders, and added that Zora also plans to resume community incentive payouts. The company has reduced its workforce to fewer than 10 this year and recently expanded token issuance support to Robinhood and Solana, while also adding cross-chain trading that includes BNB Chain.
