Binance Names SB Seker as New APAC Head
Binance appoints SB Seker as Head of Asia Pacific to boost regional growth and regulatory engagement.
- SB Seker becomes Binance’s new Head of Asia Pacific.
- He brings legal expertise from Australia and Singapore.
- Appointment signals Binance’s stronger focus on compliance in APAC.
Binance has appointed SB Seker as its new Head of Asia Pacific (APAC), signaling a major push to strengthen its regional leadership and compliance strategy. With years of experience in both legal and regulatory roles, Seker is expected to navigate the increasingly complex crypto regulatory landscape in the Asia Pacific region.
Before joining Binance, SB Seker served as a litigator in Australia and later as a central banking lawyer at the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS). His background in financial regulation and law positions him well to lead Binance’s operations across key APAC markets like Singapore, Australia, and Japan—regions where crypto policies are tightening.
Strengthening Compliance in a Key Growth Region
The Asia Pacific region remains a strategic growth area for Binance, home to some of the world’s most active crypto communities and rapidly evolving regulatory frameworks. The appointment of someone with Seker’s credentials highlights Binance’s intent to foster closer relationships with regulators while scaling its services responsibly.
Seker’s experience at MAS is particularly noteworthy, as the regulator is known for its strict but progressive approach to crypto. His insights will likely help Binance build compliant, long-term business models across the region, something the exchange has emphasized since facing regulatory challenges in multiple countries.
A Strategic Move for Long-Term Growth
This move also reflects Binance’s broader shift towards professionalism and transparency. As global scrutiny over crypto intensifies, exchanges like Binance are under pressure to ensure their regional operations meet local legal standards. Appointing regional heads with strong legal and regulatory backgrounds is becoming a trend—and Seker’s addition is in line with that.
With SB Seker at the helm in APAC, Binance aims to strengthen its presence in one of the most dynamic crypto markets while aligning with regulators and ensuring sustainable growth.
