​💡 Can AI agents be trusted to transact on your behalf?

​AI is moving from chatbot to agent. Software that once answered questions now researches, decides and increasingly pays, acting for the people using it. Stablecoins and digital asset rails are becoming the settlement layer beneath that activity, carrying programmable and faster forms of payment.

​Together these shifts create a new trust stack, where identity, consent, accountability, compliance and user protection have to evolve as one. This session brings together leaders from a global exchange, a regulated stablecoin issuer, a blockchain intelligence firm and a licensed digital asset platform to examine what trust and safety look like at the convergence point, and how Asia Pacific can lead in setting the standard.

​✨ WHY ATTEND?

• ​Hear how AI agents are beginning to interact with digital asset and stablecoin rails, and what the on-chain data already shows.

• ​Understand the risk surfaces emerging from AI-generated fraud, deepfake-enabled scams, and agentic transactions executed without informed consent.

• ​Explore how regulated stablecoin infrastructure can support safer and more credible digital finance.

• ​Gain insight into how platforms and institutions are approaching consent, identity, and accountability in AI-enabled financial activity.

• ​Consider how APAC regulators can coordinate frameworks across AI, stablecoins, and digital assets rather than supervising each in isolation.

​Whether you are a regulator, institutional leader, digital asset professional, or fintech innovator, this is your chance to join a forward-looking dialogue on the next phase of trusted digital finance.
