Stablecoins are moving beyond crypto trading into payments, settlement and cross-border finance. As adoption grows, institutions are turning to a different set of questions: how to manage onchain funds, integrate digital assets into existing operations and keep those systems secure.

Against this backdrop, digital asset infrastructure provider Cregis will host the Institutional Onchain Finance Summit 2026 in Singapore on 6 October, during TOKEN2049 Week. The summit is also co-hosted by FOMO Pay, a global payment solutions provider; Stable, a stablecoin payments infrastructure company; and Width, a AI-native compliance platform.

Sponsored by FUTURECLOUD, AWS and Avenia, the event will bring together executives and practitioners from financial services, payments, stablecoins, digital asset infrastructure and security.

Stablecoins are finding a growing role in payments and settlement, including cross-border transactions and corporate treasury. The focus is now shifting from adoption to execution — how stablecoins fit into existing financial workflows and infrastructure.

That question will anchor the summit’s opening discussion, “What Stablecoins Mean for Banks, Businesses and the Wider Economy.” The panel will draw on perspectives from across the payments and financial ecosystem, including FOMO Pay Co-Founder Zack Yang, MetaComp Co-President and COO Eddie Hui, Tether Regional Expansion Lead Andres Kim, and Avenia Founder and COO Leandro Noel. The session will be moderated by Chiara Munaretto of Stablecoin Insider.

The discussion will look at how stablecoins are being used across payments, financial services and treasury, as well as what broader adoption could mean for banks and businesses.

As these use cases expand, the infrastructure supporting them must handle increasingly complex fund flows. For institutions, that means looking beyond asset issuance and transfers to areas such as counterparty coordination, access controls, transaction execution and day-to-day operations.

That operational shift also changes the security challenge. As digital assets become part of larger business workflows, risks can sit across signing systems, access controls, third-party infrastructure and human processes — not just wallets or smart contracts.

The summit will explore this changing threat landscape in its second panel, “The New Security Playbook: How Attacks & Defences Are Evolving Across Digital Assets.” Michael Chen, Non-Executive Director at 1exchange; Jason Jiang, CBO of CertiK; Dmytro Matviiv, CEO of HackenProof; and Alexandra Wang, Head of Strategic Partnerships at ZAN, will share their perspectives on how attacks are evolving and where institutions need to strengthen prevention, monitoring and incident response.

Automation and AI are also changing the way attacks are carried out and detected, adding another layer to an already complex operating environment.

The programme will also feature keynote presentations from Cregis COO Jason Ma, Width CEO and Co-Founder Chye Kit Chionh, Stable CEO Brian Mehler and Injective CEO&Co-founder Eric Chen. Their sessions will add perspectives from infrastructure providers working across payments, stablecoins and institutional onchain finance.

For Cregis, the summit reflects a broader shift in the market. As businesses bring digital assets into payments, treasury and other financial workflows, infrastructure needs to support more than blockchain connectivity. Wallets, fund flows, governance and security controls are increasingly part of the operating layer.

The Institutional Onchain Finance Summit 2026 will bring these issues together in one forum, with speakers from financial institutions, payment providers, stablecoin companies, infrastructure providers and security firms sharing practical experience across markets and business models.
