Binance, the global blockchain ecosystem behind the largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, has been recognised by the Singapore Police Force (SPF) for its significant contributions to cybercrime prevention. The award was presented by the CyberCrime Command (CCC) during the Alliance of Public Private Cybercrime Stakeholders (APPACT) networking dinner on 11 March 2025.
The APPACT Appreciation Awards celebrate private companies that have partnered with the SPF CCC in building capabilities and combating cybercrime. Binance was one of 18 companies honoured, alongside tech giants such as Google, Mastercard, Meta, Microsoft, and PayPal. Zhang Weihan, Acting Deputy Commissioner of Investigation and Intelligence and Director of the Criminal Investigation Department, expressed gratitude to these entities for their support.
Akbar Akhtar, Binance’s Head of Investigations for the Asia-Pacific region, stated, “Receiving the APPACT Appreciation Award is an honour for Binance, and we are deeply grateful to the Singapore Police Force for recognising our team’s efforts in combating cybercrime.”
This recognition highlights Binance’s ongoing commitment to building strong public-private partnerships worldwide. Earlier this month, Binance was also acknowledged by Thailand’s Central Investigation Bureau for its contributions to Operation Cyber Guardian and received an appreciation medal from Indonesia’s Directorate of Cyber Crime.
In 2024, Binance responded to nearly 65,000 requests from law enforcement agencies globally. The company remains dedicated to collaborating with both public and private sectors to ensure a safe digital environment for all.
