June 5 (Reuters) - Richard Teng, Binance's head of regional markets outside the United States, is seen as the most likely candidate to succeed the cryptocurrency firm's chief executive officer, Changpeng "CZ" Zhao, according to media reports. Binance in late May appointed Teng to head its regional markets outside the United States. In an interview with CoinDesk, Teng sidestepped the idea that he was being groomed to take the reins from the 46-year-old CEO. Binance did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment on the reports.
