Binance has appointed SB Seker as its new Head of Asia-Pacific (APAC), where he will oversee regional strategy, operations, and regulatory engagement across the region.

Seker has more than 20 years of experience spanning the public sector, traditional finance, fintech, and digital assets.

His expertise covers legal, compliance, and market access, along with a strong record of leadership.

Before joining Binance, he served as Senior Vice President at Crypto.com Group, where he managed global product development and handled legal and regulatory matters for APAC and MENASA.

He has also held senior legal roles at Ant Group, Rothschild & Co, and Amicorp Group.

Earlier in his career, he worked as a litigator in Australia and later as a central banking lawyer at the Monetary Authority of Singapore.

In his new role, Seker will oversee Binance’s operations in APAC, cultivate strategic partnerships, and drive market adoption.

A key part of his mandate will be to work with policymakers and regulators, supporting the company’s efforts to strengthen compliance in the region.

Richard Teng, CEO of Binance, said,

“APAC has always been a key region for Binance, and Seker’s deep-rooted experience across its diverse markets makes him uniquely positioned to lead the company’s next phase of regional growth and engagement.”

SB Seker added,

“I’m truly excited to join Binance to help shape a sustainable, innovative, and compliant future for the digital- asset ecosystem across the region alongside the talented team.

By working closely with regulators, partners, and our broad community, I look forward to driving strategic initiatives and delivering robust operations throughout the region.”
