As discussions around stablecoin adoption gain momentum across Asia, the Asia Stablecoin Conference (ASC2025) will be held for the first time on September 25 at Hotel Riviera Cheongdam in Seoul. The event is hosted by the Asia Stablecoin Alliance (ASA) and co-organized by Four Pillars and LayerZero.
Industry leaders from major countries — including Korea, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, and the United States — will participate. Organizers expect approximately 500 attendees, including financial regulators, stablecoin issuers, global banks, infrastructure providers, and media.
Discussions around the potential applications and ripple effects of stablecoins have been spreading rapidly across Asia. Governments, financial institutions, and enterprises are increasingly recognizing stablecoins not only as a tool for improving cross-border payment and remittance efficiency, but also as a core instrument for modernizing financial infrastructure. Major jurisdictions such as Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Japan are in particular accelerating efforts to establish relevant legislation and regulatory frameworks.
Against this backdrop, the Asia Stablecoin Conference is widely regarded as a critical platform for sharing national strategies and building cohesive cooperation among industry, policymakers, and financial institutions.
The event will feature top executives representing the global blockchain and fintech industries. Confirmed speakers include Ash Morgan, Head of Stablecoins at the Ethereum Foundation; Jason Windawi, Head of Web3 Strategy at Ant Group; Bryan Pellegrino, CEO of LayerZero; Anthony Apollo, Managing Director at WYO Stable; Guy Young, CEO of Ethena Labs; and Lu Win, Head of Asia at Solana, among other prominent industry leaders.
Presentations and panel discussions will cover a broad range of topics, including:
- Stablecoin-based asset tokenization
- Technology and infrastructure requirements for widespread adoption
- The role of stablecoins in reshaping traditional finance
- Government- and institution-led use cases
Attendees will gain in-depth insights into the latest industry developments as well as strategic considerations for real-world implementation.
Through this conference, ASA aims to establish itself as the central hub of Asia's stablecoin ecosystem. ASA is a consortium spearheaded by Four Pillars and LayerZero, bringing together companies and institutions across key Asian markets — including Korea, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, and the Philippines.
ASA's core objectives are to accelerate industry growth across Asia by:
- Building strategic collaboration frameworks
- Advancing regulatory clarity
- Identifying and sharing success stories to drive stablecoin innovation
Through these efforts, ASA seeks to help the Asian region take a leading role in the global stablecoin market.
The event is supported by some of Asia's largest financial groups and leading global RWA and staking protocols. Official sponsors include Ant Group, Pharos Network, Canton Network, Kiln Finance, Plume Network, Ethena Labs, Securitize, and Rialo, all of whom are backing the conversation on stablecoin infrastructure and adoption across the region.
Organizers emphasized that the conference is more than an industry gathering — it is positioned as Asia's first large-scale strategic forum dedicated to the adoption of blockchain-based financial infrastructure. Heechang Kang, founder of the Asia Stablecoin Alliance and Co-Founder of Four Pillars, said: "This conference represents a pivotal opportunity for Asia to lead global stablecoin innovation. It will be a meaningful gathering where industry and institutions come together to discuss the future of financial infrastructure in concrete terms."
