Binance Bahrain appoints Bayan Jaberi as General Manager to lead next phase of growth in the Kingdom

MANAMA, BAHRAIN – Binance Bahrain announced the appointment of Bayan Jaberi as General Manager. In this role, Jaberi will lead Binance Bahrain’s business in the Kingdom, driving its growth while strengthening its position within Bahrain’s regulated digital asset ecosystem.

Jaberi has spent more than 25 years in senior roles across regulated financial services, including over five years scaling digital assets operations and risk management. He has built deep expertise in risk management, operational resilience and business continuity, skills that matter as much in crypto as they do in traditional finance. This combination of financial services discipline and hands on digital asset experience positions him to lead Binance Bahrain through its next phase of responsible growth. 

This appointment comes at a pivotal time for Binance Bahrain as it continues to enhance access to digital assets across the Kingdom. With streamlined account funding through bank transfers and cards, digital asset payments via Binance Pay, and an expanding suite of products, including bStocks, Binance’s tokenized stocks, Binance Bahrain is making it easier for users to access, engage with, and benefit from the evolving digital asset ecosystem.

“Bahrain is an important market for Binance, with a strong regulatory framework and a clear ambition to advance its digital asset ecosystem,” said Tarik Erk, Binance’s Regional Head for MENAT and Senior Exec Officer, Abu Dhabi. “Jaberi brings extensive experience across both regulated financial services and digital assets, together with the risk and operational expertise needed to lead responsibly at scale. His appointment reflects our long-term commitment to Bahrain and our focus on building a trusted, sustainable business that delivers meaningful value for users in the Kingdom.”

Making digital assets simpler to access and use 

A key priority under Jaberi’s leadership will be reducing friction across the customer journey, from the first step of funding an account to using digital assets as part of everyday financial activity. 

“For most people, the journey into crypto starts with something very familiar – their bank account or their card,” said Bayan Jaberi, General Manager of Binance Bahrain. “Making that first step simple and intuitive is critical. We want users in Bahrain to be able to move between traditional finance and digital assets with greater ease, and then have access to products that allow them to explore the broader digital asset ecosystem with confidence.”” 

From access to greater utility

Beyond simplifying access, Binance Bahrain is focused on expanding how users can engage with and use digital assets. Through Binance Pay, eligible users can send, receive and pay with supported cryptocurrencies, where available, while Binance Bahrain’s broader product suite gives users access to a growing range of digital asset services through a single platform.

The widest product range yet available in the Kingdom

Binance Bahrain now offers fiat deposits and withdrawals, fiat-crypto conversion through Binance Convert, and preferred-rate BHD/USD OTC trading — alongside spot, Margin, futures, and options, plus Binance Earn on eligible assets. bStocks, launched most recently, lets users trade tokenized U.S. equities 24/7 from as little as $5 in the same app and account. Users holding crypto on Binance globally can move funds to Binance Bahrain with no additional fees.
