SINGAPORE, Aug. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Imagine a world where forex settling houses are replaced by smart contracts. A world where remittance charges are replaced by gas fees. Or one where corporations can move money around the world with lightning-fast, fully transparent, and trustless settlements.
Stablecoin Summit 2024 returns to Singapore during Token2049 week.
This is no longer a figment of the imagination: stablecoins are here.
Organised by XREX Inc., Unitas Foundation, and Co-Hosted by First Digital, the Stablecoin Summit Singapore returns for its second edition. Brimming with top-tier speakers and cutting-edge content, the summit promises to build on the success of its inaugural edition, which saw over 300 attendees, including founders from top stablecoins, DeFi protocols, and Singaporean institutions.
Speakers at this year's edition include leaders from top stablecoins including Circle, Paxos, FDUSD, Ethena, FRAX, and many more, alongside a full suite of industry veterans, including founders or leaders from AAVE, Stellar, CELO, Truflation, Coinbase, and more. Other notable speakers include Austin Campbell, an NYU Stern professor who has advised global banks and leading governments on stablecoins, and Raagulan Pathy, co-founder of KAST, who has an established track record of moving stablecoins across entire regions.
From beyond the stablecoin sphere, the summit features leaders from organisations that move trillions of dollars globally, including Tazapay, SAP, and Worldpay. Our speakers will cover a wide range of topics, including:
- Innovating Cross-border Payments: How stablecoins are transforming international transactions by making them faster, more cost-effective, and accessible.
- Empowering Emerging Markets: The role of stablecoins in enhancing financial access and economic growth in regions with limited financial infrastructure.
- Impact of Stablecoins & CBDCs on Global Finance: Exploring the effects of digital currencies on monetary policy, central bank control, and global financial stability.
- Enhancing Stability through Tokenisation: Leveraging tokenised real-world assets to increase the resilience and security of stablecoins.
- Institutional DeFi and Stablecoins: Opportunities and challenges for integrating stablecoins into institutional decentralised finance.
Stablecoin Summit Singapore 2024 aims to accelerate the cross-pollination between stablecoin issuers, DeFi protocols, and global institutions. Aside from our speakers and sponsors, the event will feature attendees from global and regional banks, as well as leaders in financial consulting, AML/Compliance, and more.

"I'm excited to be returning to Stablecoin Summit. It's clear stablecoins have escape velocity as true digital money, and will be a key enabler to bring billions of users on chain. Stablecoin Summit is a fantastic, high energy venue that brings builders, operators, and investors together to share perspectives and debate the future of money" - Hassan Ahmed, Country Director Singapore, Coinbase
"Stablecoins are one of the most exciting areas in FinTech today. Singapore is absolutely on the leading edge of innovation in the crypto sector, and Stablecoin Summit is a premier event bringing together global experts and major industry players. It's both a blessing and a curse that the crypto sector is defined by remote, borderless work. Events like Stablecoin Summit help create communities and remind us of our shared sense of purpose to reinvent the global financial system." - Joao Reginatto, CSO, M^0
