DUBAI, UAE, July 3, 2025 – Bybit, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, proudly announces that its Chief Legal and Compliance Officer Robert MacDonald has been recognized by Asian Legal Business (ALB) magazine as one of Asia's top 15 chief compliance officers in 2025.
The prestigious listing honors industry leaders who are transforming regulatory compliance into a strategic driver for growth in the digital asset sector. ALB particularly commended MacDonald's innovative 'regulatory diplomacy' approach in navigating the complex cryptocurrency landscape amid increasingly fragmented global regulations.
With extensive experience including service at the UK Ministry of Justice and engagement with the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), MacDonald has positioned Bybit at the forefront of compliance best practices. His expertise has been instrumental in expanding Bybit's licensed operations across key markets including Austria (under MiCAR), UAE, Turkey and Georgia, while maintaining the exchange's commitment to legal integrity and robust governance.
"I'm deeply honored by this recognition," MacDonald stated. "The past three years have seen exponential growth in crypto adoption and practical applications – from trading to institutional adoption. This evolution has created meaningful dialogues with regulators worldwide."
Appointed to his current role in September 2024, MacDonald previously served as a UK-qualified barrister before transitioning into financial services, technology, and Web3 compliance leadership roles. His inclusion in ALB's list underscores the growing strategic importance of compliance executives in today's complex regulatory environment.
