GFTN InsightsRoundtable Room 2, Bellesalle 5FPremiumModerator
About this session

This roundtable will explore how Singapore and Japan can jointly unlock the potential of tokenisation and next‑generation digital asset services through closer collaboration between regulators, financial institutions and innovators. Bringing together participants from MAS, the FSA, financial institutions active in DeFi, and leading fintech startups, the session will examine the opportunities each market is embracing, Japan’s ambitions around stablecoins, CBDC and digital securities, and the practical challenges of building DeFi and blockchain‑enabled services, including KYC, security and trust. The discussion aims to bring companies closer to regulatory thinking and to catalyse cross‑border partnerships that can translate Web3 concepts into real-world financial infrastructure connecting Singapore and Japan

本ラウンドテーブルでは、規制当局、金融機関、イノベーターの連携を強化することで、シンガポールと日本がトークン化および次世代デジタル資産サービスの可能性をどのように引き出せるかを探ります。

シンガポール金融管理局（MAS）、金融庁（FSA）、DeFi分野で活動する金融機関、有力フィンテックスタートアップの関係者が一堂に会し、各市場が見据える成長機会、日本におけるステーブルコイン、CBDC、デジタル証券をめぐる戦略的目標、さらにKYC、セキュリティ、信頼性など、DeFiやブロックチェーン基盤のサービス構築に伴う実務上の課題について議論します。

企業が規制当局の考え方への理解を深めるとともに、Web3の概念をシンガポールと日本を結ぶ現実の金融インフラへと発展させる、国境を越えた連携を後押しします。
