About Event

A focused two-hour summit bringing regulators, banks, founders and investors to one table to separate real blockchain value from hype, and to name what it will take to move the region from pilots to regulated, revenue-generating adoption. Five discussion blocks, each opened by a short provocation and driven by moderated debate.

14:30 – 14:40 | Welcome & Framing
Moderator sets the core question: where is blockchain real, and where is it still theatre.

14:40 – 15:00 | Block 1 — Real Value vs. Hype
Where has blockchain created genuine value in the region, and where has it not.

15:00 – 15:20 | Block 2 — The Biggest Barrier
What holds adoption back most: regulation, trust, talent, or capital.

15:20 – 15:30 | Networking Break

15:30 – 15:50 | Block 3 — Regulators & the Sandbox
What regulators need to enable a safe sandbox for real, monitored pilots.

15:50 – 16:10 | Block 4 — Payments, Remittances & Stablecoins
Digital payments, cross-border remittances and stablecoin rails across South Asia.

16:10 – 16:25 | Block 5 — Making the Region Investable
What makes South Asia investable for global blockchain capital.

16:25 – 16:30 | Closing Round & Q&A
Each speaker names one coordinated move to unlock the next wave.
