Asia cannot be viewed as a single unified market.
Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Southeast Asia and the United Arab Emirates are each developing their own approaches to stablecoins, tokenization and digital money, each shaped by distinct regulatory regimes and industry environments.
Last year brought 1,100+ developers, issuers, financial institutions and policymakers to Seoul across 17 sessions.
This year goes one market at a time.
Through opinion leaders, we will dive into how each country is moving forward with its own regulatory and industrial context.
If you build, invest, regulate or research anywhere in Asia, this is the practical view of what is actually happening.

Sessions
The Programme
Three acts, one day, two stages.
The day is built as an argument: where Asia actually stands, what the rest of the world still gets wrong about it, and what has to happen next.
01
Act 1
Asia Now
What Is Holding Back Asia's Progress
Act 1 examines where stablecoins, tokenization, and digital money currently stand in each Asian market including Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Southeast Asia, and the United Arab Emirates.
The goal of this act is to identify the specific constraints that are delaying business expansion and market participation.

02
Act 2
Asia Misunderstood
What Is the Global Market Overlooking
Act 2 addresses the gap between how global markets perceive Asia and how each market actually operates. Each session revisits conventional assumptions about regulation, demand, and market structure, and tests whether these perceptions match reality.

03
Act 3
Asia Next
What Comes Next
Act 3 discusses the conditions required for stablecoins, tokenization, and digital financial infrastructure to scale meaningfully across Asia.
This final discussion lays out the specific priorities that developers, financial institutions, and policymakers should pursue as they prepare for the next stage of market adoption.
