WasabiCard hosted its "Stablecoin & Payments: Funds Flow" event in Singapore on October 6 during TOKEN2049 Week. The gathering brought together leaders from Circle, Lotus Technology, Plume, Safeheron, WIDTH, and AWS to explore how stablecoins and tokenized assets are integrating into real-world financial systems. Ray Yang, co-founder and CEO of WasabiCard, emphasized that stablecoins are reshaping the settlement layer rather than replacing existing payment systems.
The event featured discussions on tokenized capital markets and the operational requirements for stablecoin payments at scale. The first panel examined the evolution of tokenized assets and the infrastructure needed for institutional participation. The second panel focused on moving stablecoin liquidity beyond on-chain settlement into real-world applications, covering topics like compliance, security, and connections with local banking networks.
Yang highlighted the importance of global card issuing, payouts, and embedded payments in bringing stablecoin liquidity into everyday commerce. He noted that while on-chain settlement offers speed and programmability, real-world adoption depends on how businesses utilize those funds afterward. The event also underscored the role of compliant white-label card infrastructure, allowing fintechs and digital asset platforms to offer branded payment products without building the underlying infrastructure themselves.
Key themes from the discussions included the need for reliable methods to spend, distribute, and manage stablecoin funds, the importance of compliance and security, and the expansion of white-label infrastructure. The event concluded with a call to action: making digital value move securely, compliantly, and fully into the real economy.
