Digital Assets Association (DAA) Singapore, a non-profit association aiming to bridge the
gap between blockchain technology and traditional finance, has announced the first edition
of Digital Assets Summit 2025, set to take place on September 30, 2025 in Singapore.
Asia Pacific’s digital asset revolution is rapidly accelerating, with Asian jurisdictions,
including Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore and South Koea, leading pilot programmes for
tokenised funds, bonds, and structured products. With strong governmental support and
first-mover advantage in play, the region is experiencing a significant influx of talent and
capital.
“To keep pace with the rapid expansion of digital assets and institutional interest, we must
stay updated on innovative applications and adapt to new technologies that will strengthen
our infrastructure,” said Mr. Chia Hock Lai, Co-Chairman of DAA.
“Singapore stands at the forefront of technological innovation. DAA looks forward to
catalysing standards, education and adoption, across multiple industries. We have garnered
support from key stakeholders in the ecosystem for this event to be a pivotal part of the next
phase of growth for Singapore’s digital transformation journey and further escalate the
growing presence of Singapore as the digital asset hub for Asia.”
Strong institutional adoption is at the heart of this vision. Paired with the country’s well-
established banking infrastructure, Singapore is poised to lead APAC’s digital asset
revolution through convergence between digital assets and traditional finance ecosystems.
“The convergence of traditional finance and digital assets marks a defining chapter in the
evolution of global finance,” said Mr. Danny Chong, Co-Chairman of DAA. “With Singapore
at the helm of regulatory clarity and technological innovation, this summit serves as a
launchpad for the next wave of institutional adoption in Asia. We are bringing together
policymakers, financial leaders and Web3 pioneers to shape a resilient, inclusive and future-
ready digital asset ecosystem. Singapore is well positioned to lead not just Asia, but the
world, in defining how digital finance scales with integrity and impact.”
The Digital Assets Summit will take place on the 30th of September at CHIJMES
Singapore, with keynotes and panel discussions between leading projects, financial
institutions, and legal professionals, including US SEC Commissioner Hester Pierce,
Monetary Authority of Singapore, OKX, DBS Bank, Hedera, NTUC and Drew & Napier LLC.
The summit will explore trending topics in digital asset adoption such as:
● Fundamentals and opportunities of RWA tokenisation
● Navigating global regulatory changes
● Case studies on successful RWA implementations
● The future of DeFi and tokenised finance
The speaker lineup includes US SEC Commissioner Hester Pierce, MAS, Head of Financial
Infrastructure & Artificial Intelligence Office, Alan Lim, OKX CEO Gracie Lin, DBS Head of
Crypto Patrick Yeo, Co-President of MetaComp Tin Pei Ling, Safeheron Partner Jag Foo
and more.
