Vishal Sacheendran, Head of Regional Markets at the cryptocurrency exchange Binance, stated that investors in the crypto sector will favor jurisdictions with comprehensive regulations for the industry. Sacheendran shared his statement during the second Digital Innovation Academic Forum (DIAF) on May 29.

"Undoubtedly, investors will migrate towards regions with a robust regulatory foundation," said Sacheendran, according to Binance.

According to a release from Binance Academy, the DIAF gathered in Seoul, South Korea, to discuss updates on global crypto regulation and the balance between innovation and compliance. The discussion was led by a panel of industry leaders with blockchain expertise and included a keynote speech by Sacheendran, which focused on pathways forward in this evolving regulatory landscape.

The release indicated that the dialogue within the forum examined European Union (EU) regulation as an example. It highlighted "European legislation as an ideal example of the kind of consistent, clear regulatory frameworks that the crypto market needs to both safeguard investors and foster growth and innovation."

Changpeng Zhao (CZ), co-founder and former CEO of Binance, noted France's productive regulatory approach to crypto. According to a Binance blog post, he said that regulations help prevent illicit activities like money laundering. "Effective regulation is essential for the mainstream adoption of cryptocurrency," CZ said. "The French DASP [digital asset service provider] and AML/CFT [anti-money laundering/countering the financing of terrorism] regulations put in place stringent anti-money laundering and fit and proper requirements to meet the high standards necessary to be regulated in France." The AMF granted Binance a DASP registration in May 2022.

Binance’s current CEO Richard Teng cited Paris as an example of a jurisdiction where policies are attracting more crypto business. CoinDesk reported Teng saying, "If you look at what Paris is doing, it is very conducive for businesses. Not only ourselves, a number of crypto players are trying to use Paris as their base for expansion within Europe."

Sacheendran has served as Head of Regional Markets for Binance since February 2022, overseeing government relations, regulatory licensing initiatives, and expansion operations. He previously worked as Capital Markets Authorization Senior Manager at Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) of Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) and spent six years with the Bank of New York Mellon on the Global Client Management team.
