Approximately 100 to 150 participants are expected to attend, including representatives from financial institutions, large enterprises, and those responsible for digital asset and blockchain businesses.

Progress in Digital Asset Systems and Policy Discussions in Major Countries... "The Need for Business Strategy Development by Company"

Recently, stablecoins have emerged as a core infrastructure in the global market, revolutionizing the overall flow of corporate funds, including payment, remittance, and settlement. This offers new business opportunities for domestic companies, while also presenting complex challenges such as accounting, regulatory compliance, and partnership building. As discussions on digital asset-related systems and policies advance not only in major countries but also in Korea, each company now faces the need to establish comprehensive business strategies. As a result, factors such as the selection of blockchain infrastructure, establishment of global partnerships, business structure design, and risk management capabilities are emerging as key elements in enhancing corporate competitiveness.

The event will consist of three sessions. In the first session, Yongil Kim, Head of Asia Business at Avalanche, will deliver a presentation titled "2026: Global Business Strategies Led by Blockchain." This will be followed by Seungsik Yoon, Director at Tiger Research, who will present "The Framework and Strategic Choices for Global Companies Entering Blockchain," outlining criteria for infrastructure and ecosystem selection.

The second session will focus on the regulatory environment and business strategies for stablecoins, centering on cases from the Japanese market. Roy Hirata, Head of Japan Business at Avalanche, and Hideki Ikeda, former CTO of SBI VC Trade and current CTO of JFET, will join as panelists to share their experiences with institutional environments and practical business implementation. Kyungho Kim, Head of the Digital Asset Center at Deloitte Korea Group, will then give a presentation on "Accounting Methods for Stablecoins for Enterprises," addressing accounting and regulatory compliance issues that companies need to consider.

The final session will center on real-world business applications of stablecoins. Cindy Shi, Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) at Kite AI, will introduce the changes brought by the convergence of AI and blockchain in the financial industry. Zhao Chen, Managing Director at Fosun Wealth, will share enterprise stablecoin models from a global corporate perspective. Fahad Rasul, Co-founder of Axiym, will discuss the potential for innovation in corporate fund flows through real-time global trade settlement use cases utilizing stablecoins.

"Stablecoins Must Translate into Tangible Business Opportunities for Companies"

Jongseong Hong, CEO of Deloitte Korea Group, stated, "This summit comprehensively covers infrastructure, regulation, accounting, and real-life application cases, providing practical strategies for companies to respond to the digital asset era," and added, "Deloitte Korea Group will continue to support the development of digital asset strategies for companies based on our expertise in accounting, regulation, and risk management."

Kyu Jin Kim, CEO of Tiger Research, commented, "Stablecoins have now become more than just a digital asset—they are a core infrastructure reshaping global companies' fund flows and business structures. Companies are entering a phase where they must concretize their business strategies and execution capabilities."
