Binance appoints former Crypto.com SB Seker as APAC head to support compliance and expansion in the developing crypto markets in Asia-Pacific.
Mr. SB Seker, a former senior executive at Crypto.com, has been promoted to the position of Head of Asia-Pacific (APAC) at Binance. This is a strategic recruitment with an increasing regulatory imperative.
It is expected that Seker would be the driving force behind the operations of Binance and the expansion of the company in one of the most exciting cryptocurrency markets in the world.
SB Seker Role: APAC leader with Topical Focus.
SB Seker brings more than 20 years of experience in law, regulatory affairs, and fintech. Binance CEO Richard Teng said Seker’s position ideally enables him to grow Binance and strengthen its regulatory relationships in APAC.
Seker said, “I am thrilled to shape a future that makes digital assets in APAC both compliant and innovative.”
His mission also involves powerful interaction with regulators and partners to ensure that Binance stays at the forefront of changing rules.
Learning APAC Regulatory Labyrinth.
The crypto market of APAC is highly fragmented and regulated. Seker brings skills that assist Binance in developing scalable, compliant operations in markets such as Singapore, Hong Kong, Indonesia, and Vietnam.
His experience in the public sector as a central banking lawyer strengthens Binance’s regulatory compliance strategy. Binance is active in compliance and engages in cooperation with regulators and joins new licensing regimes.
A sole focus on compliance gives Binance an advantage in potential cryptocurrency centres across Asia. APAC is home to approximately 60 percent of global crypto users and is highly liquid, so mastery of regulation is essential.
The Number of Binance.
As of mid-2025, Binance has a staggering market share of 38% in centralized crypto exchanges across the globe, and much of that market continues to be in APAC.
It has more than 270 million users across the globe, and Asia is playing a major role in this.
The spot trading volume of Binance has reached $2.2 trillion in the first quarter of 2025, which is twice as much as the previous year.
This volume of daily trades makes the exchange the largest user of crypto exchanges in the market (on average).
Profile of Binance APAC
With Seker leading Binance, it wants to continue growing in a responsible way. The aim is to maintain transparency, focus on user protection, and develop innovation in compliance with regulations.
This will continue to keep Binance ahead of the fast-evolving digital asset landscape in APAC.
The crypto market in Asia is not only very competitive; it is also very innovative. Binance demonstrated its commitment to overcoming regulatory challenges and fostering growth and confidence by partnering with Seker.
