KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 27 (Bernama) -- TRM Labs (TRM), an artificial intelligence (AI)-focused provider of solutions for combating financial crime and national security threats, has appointed Ziqing Ang as Head of Policy, APAC.
In this role, Ang will work with regulators, policymakers, law enforcement agencies and private institutions across Asia-Pacific (APAC) to strengthen efforts against illicit networks and address emerging threats.
“Ziqing brings deep expertise and experience working across both the public and private sectors, and the credibility to bring regulators and industry together around this work,” said TRM Labs Global Head of Policy, Ari Redbord.
TRM in a statement said APAC is becoming an increasingly important region for digital asset and AI policy as criminal networks use the technologies to operate at greater speed and scale.
The company tracked adjusted crypto crime volume rising from approximately US$123 million in 2020 to over US$103 billion in 2025, while investment scams accounted for 62 per cent of fraud inflows last year. (US$1=RM4.02)
Meanwhile, Ang said APAC is at an important stage in how it regulates technology in the age of AI, and the decisions made over the next few years will shape the safety of the ecosystem.
Ang brings more than a decade of experience spanning policy, financial markets, digital assets and institutional business development. She spent more than eight years at the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), working on financial markets development and reserve management before moving into the digital asset industry.
Ang's appointment reflects TRM's continued investment in APAC and follows last month's appointment of former MAS regulator Claudia Hui as Head of Compliance Advisory, APAC, as part of the company's broader expansion of its policy and compliance presence in the region.
