From Crypto to CBDCs: Asia's Blueprint for Digital Finance

-

Asia is emerging as a global leader in tech-driven finance, serving as a testing ground for tokenized securities, stablecoins, and CBDCs. Financial institutions are shifting from speculative crypto to building robust systems for settlement, custody, and capital markets using blockchain and AI. Regulators—such as MAS and HKMA—are pioneering frameworks that may shape global standards. As digital finance scales, advanced regtech, cybersecurity, and ethical considerations—AI governance, data privacy, and automation—are becoming critical. This session explores how Asia can harness innovation to enhance market efficiency, investor protection, and sustainable growth. The region’s ability to balance rapid innovation with responsible oversight could determine its influence on the future of global finance and set the pace for digital transformation worldwide.
