Accelerate Asian Stablecoins
Alex LimHead of APAC, ASA Executive Director, LayerZero
Asia stands at an inflection point.
The region processes more digital payments than anywhere else, hosts the world's most sophisticated super-apps, and is home to billions who need efficient cross-border financial solutions.
Yet Asia remains underserved by the dollar-dominated stablecoin market. The won, the yen and the rupiah power massive economies but barely register onchain.
This conference confronted that paradox head-on.
Speakers showed live implementations: Korea's KRW1 launching that very week, Indonesia's regulatory sandbox, Japan's answer to enterprise transaction limits, the Philippines' integration with gaming. Experiments had become production systems serving real users.
What began as an ambitious idea among five people three months earlier became a gathering of over 1,100 leaders shaping Asia's stablecoin future.
