Signal Circle: Cross-Border Payments VIP Dinner
🍽 ABOUT EVENT
In 2026, building cross-border fintech that touches Chinese capital is one of the most demanding engineering, legal, and compliance problems in Asia. There is no off-the-shelf playbook — each company assembles its own stack of entities, jurisdictions, custody structures, and compliance frameworks to operate across the perimeter.
This is the Outbound Stack: the practical architecture that lets Chinese founders, payment platforms, and stablecoin issuers serve global markets while staying within the rules of every regime they touch — PBOC, HK SFC, HKMA, MAS, DFSA, and increasingly the regulatory bodies of every market their customers operate in.
This dinner convenes the people doing the building: founders, CTOs, compliance leaders, and capital allocators navigating this new geography every day. The fintechs onboarding Chinese exporters into Southeast Asia. The stablecoin issuers handling outbound flows. The payment platforms designing cross-border infrastructure that holds up to scrutiny in multiple jurisdictions at once.
One table. One evening. A practical conversation among operators shaping how cross-border capital actually moves.
🎯 WHO IS THIS FOR
CEOs & CTOs of Chinese outbound fintech, payment, and platform companies
Founders and risk leaders of stablecoin issuers, on/off-ramps, and cross-border payment PSPs
Heads of risk, compliance, and treasury at companies routing cross-border RMB or Chinese-adjacent capital
Legal counsel and policy specialists with experience across PBOC, HK SFC, HKMA, MAS, and DFSA frameworks
Banking and corporate-treasury leaders evaluating stablecoin settlement and cross-border digital asset rails
Investors backing the China-outbound stack, stablecoin infrastructure, and regulated cross-border payment players
🗣 DISCUSSION THEME
The Outbound Stack in practice: how are Chinese founders structuring entities, custody, and operational footprint across HK, SG, the Gulf, and beyond?
Stablecoin settlement at scale: which jurisdictions are credible homes for issuance, which are credible homes for usage — and what's the right separation?
Treasury and risk under multiple regulators: what does it take to maintain a compliance posture that holds up to PBOC, HK, SG, and a Western banking partner simultaneously?
Travel Rule and cross-border AML: where are the practical interoperability gaps for stablecoin and PSP issuers handling Chinese-adjacent flows?
For risk and compliance leaders: which operational structures earn the trust of a Big-4 auditor, a Tier-1 banking partner, and a regulator at the same time?
