Asia Stablecoin Alliance

Accelerating stablecoin adoption in Asia by connecting builders, institutions, and regulators.

[Asia Stablecoin Alliance @AsiaStablecoin]

The momentum from #ASC2025 continues to ripple across Asia.

During @kbwofficial, more than 300 leaders from 15 countries, including policymakers, builders, stablecoin issuers, and major institutions converged in Seoul at the inaugural Asia Stablecoin Conference, with insights already shaping real-world implementations.

What we witnessed:
🔹 $300B stablecoin market cap milestone: a growth trajectory that's just getting started.

🔹 @LayerZero_Core's masterclass in crosschain asset movement: $273M transferred in 3 minutes for a mere $0.59, proving institutional-grade infrastructure is here.

🔹 @ethena, @solana & @ethereumfndn aligned on unified vision: Asia needs interoperable markets, not fragmented chains. Each L1 bringing unique strengths to serve different use cases.

🔹 Southeast Asian pioneers already live:
• 🇮🇩 @idrx_co processing real remittances
• 🇲🇾 @blox_malaysia becoming backbone for Malaysian businesses
• 🇵🇭 @coinsph solving last-mile payments for PHP customers

🔹 Korean institutions & regulators in the room signaling readiness for digital KRW, with major banks exploring issuance.

The energy in that room was validation of our mission at @AsiaStablecoin: Asia stands ready to lead the global stablecoin revolution, with the infrastructure, regulation, and ambition all falling into place.

Thank you to our partners and speakers for making this historic gathering possible.

The journey to transform Asian finance has just begun.

Accelerate Asian Stablecoins.

Grateful for the main stage at Bitcoin Seoul.

1/ Crypto is better money technology. Not just a new asset class, but a fundamentally different way of doing things with money that weren't possible before.

2/ Crypto's earliest PMF was access to volatile speculation. The elephant in the room has been this: token is the product, price action is marketing, CEX listing is distribution. That model worked and built the industry we're in today.

3/ That's now slowly shifting. The use case is moving from how money gets made to how money moves. Faster, cheaper, and more programmable than anything TradFi has offered. Institutions and enterprises are leading this, not retail.

4/ (biased) Asia is the most important region to watch. Despite its economic weight, it's the world's most fragmented market. 8+ major economies, each with different languages, currencies, regulations, and pain points. There is no one-size-fits-all playbook nor regulation, and anyone building as if there is will struggle.

5/ At the same time, Asia is the most digitally native continent. A few super apps dominate the way hundreds of millions of people consume news, communicate with friends, and shop groceries. Korea has the highest AI usage per capita in the world. These apps and infrastructures will serve as the perfect regional stablecoin settlement layer.

6/ Multi-chain is the default from Day 1, not a transition phase. Chains will consolidate and only a few strongest will survive. The future isn't one chain winning but users never thinking about which chain they're on. Asset issuers should focus on distribution and chains should focus on infrastructure.

7/ LayerZero sits at the center of this. 800+ Asset issuers can scale across 170+ chains via LayerZero. $9B processed in May alone and over $260B year to date.

8/ Stablecoins and RWAs will fundamentally change how my kids will invest, trade, save, and move money around the world. They will grow up in that world and I'm happy that I will have a few stories to share with them about building that world, although I'm not sure how much they will actually care. :)

Accelerate Asian Stablecoins.

: : Asian Digital Money: CBDC–Deposit Token Convergence and Non-USD Stablecoin Strategy

Asia’s digital money landscape is converging around a hybrid architecture where CBDCs and deposit tokens form the regulated core, while stablecoins serve as complementary liquidity and cross-border rails.

The region’s diversity in dollar exposure, banking structures, regulation, and capital-market maturity is producing multiple national models rather than a single stablecoin-led future.

"SBI Holdings' latest move should be read not as a standalone project but as part of a coherent "full-stack digital finance" strategy.

SBI invested $50 million in Circle's IPO, is co-developing a yen stablecoin with Startale, and is pursuing crypto ETFs targeting a Tokyo Stock Exchange listing.

Add a dedicated tokenized securities chain, and a vertically integrated structure emerges: payment instruments (stablecoins) → trading infrastructure (Strium) → investment products (ETFs).

This is not merely blockchain adoption, it is an attempt to internalize the entire value chain of digital asset finance."

Coming back from Hong Kong and hearing about some of the most recent conversations around crypto regulations in Japan, I couldn’t be more excited to work with the institutions and banks in 🇯🇵 this year.
