About this session
ASEAN sits at an inflection point in digital financial infrastructure. Domestic instant payment rails have matured and are, to a significant extent, interoperable across borders. Stablecoin adoption - from native crypto-asset trading- would evolve to other use cases, such as B2B cross-border settlement, a liquidity settlement layer for tokenised products, and payments. AI agents are also moving from experimentation to execution across payment infrastructure, treasury operations, and consumer-facing financial service Central banks, financial regulators, and infrastructure providers across the region a convening on 3 areas: How should stablecoin oversight evolve beyond crypto-asset regimes towards other real-world use cases? How should agentic payments be treated alongside incumbent payment systems? What should be prepared? And what does responsible AI governance look like in practice?
