Industry Leaders, Regulators, and Innovators to Convene in Bangkok at the Intersection Where Digital Assets and Traditional Banking Enter New Era of Collaboration
Bangkok, Thailand, March 31, 2026: Money20/20, one of the world’s largest fintech events, today announced the introduction of The Intersection Stage at Money20/20 Asia happening on April 21-23 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center in Bangkok bringing together the region’s most powerful voices across banking, payments, digital assets, and financial innovation.
The Intersection Stage is dedicated to the global convergence of Traditional Finance (TradFi) and Decentralized Finance (DeFi) marking the beginning of a unified global activation across Money20/20’s platforms in Asia, Europe, and the United States. Together, these stages will showcase the most influential companies, the biggest players in TradFi and DeFi, and the conversations shaping the future of money.
From the Genius Act in the US, to MiCA in Europe, to Asia’s pioneering regulatory sandboxes and CBDC initiatives, TradFi and DeFi are now converging to shape a shared future. Regulated institutions like AMINA Bank are at the forefront of this transformation, particularly in navigating the evolving regulatory landscape across key markets.
Asia has become the proving ground for the next era of financial infrastructure. From advanced CBDC deployments to real-time cross-border payment corridors and institutional tokenization pilots, the region is demonstrating what the future of money looks like when innovation and regulation move in tandem. The Intersection Stage addresses this critical need by convening the leaders shaping this transformation.
