The Asia Stablecoin Alliance (ASA) announced on the 3rd that it will hold the "Asia Stablecoin Conference (ASC2025)" at the Hotel Riviera Cheongdam in Seoul on the 25th.

ASA is a consortium established and led by Four Pillars and LayerZero. Industry leaders from major countries such as South Korea, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong and the United States will attend the event, and about 500 people, including financial authorities, stablecoin issuers, global banks, infrastructure providers and media representatives, are expected to gather.

Recently across Asia, discussions have expanded recognizing stablecoins as ▲a key tool for enhancing cross-border payments and remittance efficiency, ▲and for advancing financial infrastructure. Major countries such as South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore and Japan are accelerating the preparation of related legislation and regulations, and the conference is seen as an occasion to share each country's strategies and to build cooperative frameworks among policymakers, financial institutions and industry in this context.

Speakers include Ash Morgan, head of stablecoins at the Ethereum Foundation; Jason Windawi, head of Web3 strategy at Ant Group; Brian Pellegrino, CEO of LayerZero; Anthony Apollo, executive director of the Wyoming Stable Token Commission; Guy Young, CEO of Athena Labs; and Lu Win, head of Asia at the Solana Foundation, among other key figures in the global blockchain and fintech industries.

Presentations and panel discussions will cover ▲stablecoin-based asset tokenization ▲technical and infrastructure requirements for broad adoption ▲the role of stablecoins in reshaping traditional finance ▲use cases led by governments and financial institutions, among others. Participants will be able to examine in depth not only the latest industry trends but also the strategic factors to consider during the actual implementation process. Kang Hee-chang, ASA founder and co-founder of Four Pillars, said, "This conference is an opportunity for Asia to discuss global stablecoin innovation," adding, "It will be a meaningful occasion where industry and institutions come together to concretely discuss the future of financial infrastructure."
