CoinPayments has appointed Aaron Budiman as Asia Pacific Regional Director, adding regional leadership as it expands its presence in the market.
Budiman will lead efforts to grow the company's merchant and partner network across Asia Pacific, with a focus on stablecoin-enabled cross-border payments for businesses and financial institutions. His appointment comes as digital asset activity rises across the region and payments groups seek a larger share of the market.
He brings experience in using stablecoins for cross-border payments in Asia Pacific. His background includes working with businesses and financial institutions using digital assets to reduce settlement times, lower transaction costs and improve transparency in international transfers.
Company-cited market data points to rapid growth in the region. According to the OECD, Asia recorded a 69% year-on-year increase in blockchain-based crypto-asset transactions between June 2024 and June 2025, the highest growth rate of any region.
Founded in 2013, CoinPayments says it has processed more than USD $50 billion in transaction volume, has more than 1 million crypto wallet users and has enabled digital asset payments for more than 250,000 merchants worldwide.
CoinPayments is framing Budiman's hire around its Asia Pacific expansion, where regulatory frameworks vary widely and payment providers are working to build relationships with merchants, institutions and local partners.
Cross-border payments have become a key battleground for digital asset firms, particularly those using stablecoins as a settlement tool. Supporters argue that stablecoins can move funds across markets more quickly than some traditional systems, though regulation still varies by jurisdiction.
"I am thrilled to be joining COINPAYMENTS at such a pivotal stage of its growth journey.
