Binance Taps Former Crypto.com Exec SB Seker to Lead Asia Pacific Push

Binance Taps Former Crypto.com Exec SB Seker to Lead Asia Pacific Push

  • Binance appoints SB Seker to boost Asia Pacific regulatory ties.
  • Seker’s vast experience will drive Binance’s growth in Asia.
  • Binance strengthens regional presence with Crypto.com’s former executive, Seker.

Binance has appointed SB Seker, a former senior executive at Crypto.com, as its new head of Asia Pacific. This strategic move comes as the global cryptocurrency giant aims to strengthen its regional presence and build stronger ties with policymakers and regulators in the region.


Seker has a rich history in the crypto and finance space; he would be a logical choice. He last worked as senior vice president at Crypto.Com, where he was in charge of global product development and Asia Pacific and MENASA regulatory matters. Seker is highly qualified to lead Binance in expanding its operations in this strategically important region, having an in-depth understanding of how to operate in different markets.

Seker’s Experience Strengthens Binance’s Regulatory Push in APAC

Beyond his tenure at Crypto.com, Seker has held senior legal roles at Ant Group, Rothschild & Co., and Amicorp Group. His earlier career included work as a litigator in Australia and as a central banking lawyer at the Monetary Authority of Singapore.


Since Binance is now concentrating on increasing its presence in the Asian Pacific, Seker will be charged with enhancing its relations with regulators and working to see that existing and emerging legislation comply with the current laws in this region. Binance CEO Richard Teng pointed out that Seker brings a rich background of both legal and regulatory experience to the company in its next phase of regional expansion.


Seker said that he would work hand-in-hand with regulators, partners, and the Binance community to advance the company’s strategic endeavors in the region. He will prioritize operating well and maneuvering through a complicated regulatory environment that still dominates the crypto industry.


The largest crypto exchange in the world in terms of trading volumes is Binance, which has increased its market share tremendously. In July, the company recorded a spot market volume of $724.6 billion, up from $706.1 billion last month. Binance has been leading in the market, and Bybit and Bitget follow right behind at $124.4 billion and $124 billion, respectively.


With Seker at the helm of Binance’s Asia Pacific operations, the company is poised to tackle regulatory challenges head-on while expanding its influence in one of the most dynamic regions for cryptocurrency growth.
