The Responsible Fintech Institute (RFI) is pleased to announce that Chairman Chia Hock Lai will participate as a speaker at GFTN Forum Japan 2026, one of the region’s leading gatherings focused on digital assets, financial innovation, and emerging financial infrastructure.

As Japan continues to strengthen its position as a global leader in digital asset innovation, discussions are increasingly shifting from experimentation to large-scale implementation. Recent developments, including stablecoin initiatives and the growth of tokenised financial products, have highlighted the country’s commitment to building a trusted and regulated digital finance ecosystem.

At the forum, Chairman Chia will join a high-level roundtable discussion on the theme of tokenisation and its role in shaping the future of financial markets. The session will explore how digital assets, tokenised instruments, and interoperable financial infrastructure can support greater efficiency, accessibility, and innovation across the financial sector.

The discussion will also examine the governance frameworks required to ensure that innovation develops responsibly. Topics such as cross-border interoperability, digital trust, regulatory alignment, and institutional adoption are expected to play an increasingly important role as tokenisation moves into mainstream financial markets.

RFI looks forward to contributing to these conversations and engaging with policymakers, financial institutions, technology providers, and industry leaders as the global digital asset ecosystem continues to evolve.
