KBank highlights the future of digital money on the international stage, emphasizing that modern finance must be transparent

KASIKORNBANK (KBank) reinforced its role as a regional leader in financial innovation at the Insight Forum 2025 Digital Money Adoption and Regulation: Strategies for Commercial Banks and Fintech, held recently in Singapore. The event brought together leaders from financial institutions and executives from leading fintech companies worldwide to exchange perspectives on the development of payment and modern digital financial assets, highlighting overall trends and approaches for the development of settlement assets under an appropriate regulatory framework.

Dr. Karin Boonlertvanich, KBank Executive Vice President, said, "The transition towards the digital money era does not start with technology, but with confidence and appropriate oversight. This is particularly important for settlement assets, including tokenized deposits, e-money, or regulated stablecoins, all of which require clear policies and regulatory frameworks to ensure prudential measures. Furthermore, settlement assets that are already on the blockchain are highly suitable for innovative cross-border payments, enabling by high-speed and low-cost processing. Automated conditions through smart contracts can also be incorporated to enable additional use cases that benefit the business sector."

Dr. Karin added that Orbix Technology, a company within KASIKORNBANK FINANCIAL CONGLOMERATE, has developed Quarix, the blockchain infrastructure which supports real time atomic settlements of assets on chain and Q-money, an e-money on blockchain provided by KBank. The Bank has advanced this financial infrastructure, with a key example being its collaboration with StraitsX under the Monetary Authority of Singapore's BLOOM project. This initiative enhances the convenience, safety, and efficiency of QR payments for Thai and Singaporean tourists.

Dr. Karin concluded that the future of digital money is not a competition between banks and fintech companies, but rather a joint effort to build a financial ecosystem that is secure, transparent, and accessible for everyone. He emphasized that KBank will continue collaborating with regional and global partners to drive ASEAN towards a seamlessly interconnected digital financial system, capable of stably and sustainably supporting the new economy.
