SCB 10X, the technology investment subsidiary of SCBX Group, in collaboration with Bloomberg, concluded its 7th annual online conference, “REDeFiNE TOMORROW 2026.” Held on June 4–5, 2026, under the theme “The Maturity of Digital Assets & Web3,” the summit drew over 8,000 registered attendees from more than 100 countries and featured 55 speakers and moderators across 29 sessions.
Kaweewut Temphuwapat, Chief Executive Officer of SCB 10X and Chief Innovation Officer of SCBX, stated that the digital asset and Web3 industry is transitioning into an era focused on real-world utility at scale. This development is supported by maturing infrastructure, practical economic adoption, and increased institutional involvement, as evidenced by the expansion of on-chain Real-World Assets (RWAs) to over US$40 billion alongside sustained capital inflows into blockchain companies.
The summit outlined five key institutional trends defining the future of the digital asset and Web3 landscape:
1. Stablecoins are becoming financial infrastructure. – Speakers from Circle, Visa, Ripple, and M0 highlighted how stablecoins are increasingly being adopted for cross-border payments, treasury operations, liquidity management, and emerging AI-driven payment use cases. The shift is reflected in market growth, with global stablecoin supply reaching approximately US$250 billion, while annualized stablecoin transaction volume has surpassed traditional payment networks in several use cases.
2. Tokenization is moving beyond issuance toward utility. – Discussions highlighted the rapid growth of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), with tokenized treasury products alone growing to more than US$7 billion, while the broader tokenized asset market continues to expand globally. Leaders from BlackRock, Sygnum, Superstate, and QCP Capital agreed that the next phase of tokenization will be defined by practical functionality, including settlement, collateral mobility, custody, liquidity, and institutional interoperability.
3. AI and blockchain are converging around trust and economic coordination. – Several sessions explored how blockchain infrastructure can help address key challenges in AI, including attribution, ownership, payments, and trust. As AI agents become increasingly autonomous, speakers argued that verifiable and programmable economic rails will become critical infrastructure for the emerging machine economy.
4. Institutions are shifting from experimentation to implementation. – Conversations across banking, asset management, and financial infrastructure focused less on whether institutions should engage with digital assets and more on how they can operationalize them at scale through governance, risk management, compliance, and internal infrastructure.
5. Regulatory clarity is becoming a growth catalyst. – Speakers highlighted how regulatory frameworks across Asia are increasingly shaping market development by enabling innovation while strengthening investor protection and institutional confidence. During the summit, Thailand’s SEC shared its vision for a mature digital asset market, one where tokenized securities, digital asset ETFs, and other regulated digital asset products coexist within the broader capital market ecosystem.
REDeFiNE TOMORROW was launched in 2020 by SCB 10X to foster knowledge sharing and collaboration among global innovators building the future of finance and technology. Over the past seven years, the summit has hosted hundreds of speakers and attracted participants from around the world, serving as a platform for meaningful dialogue across the digital asset and Web3 ecosystem.
