The Singapore FinTech Festival runs November 17 to 20 at Singapore Expo. Organized by the Monetary Authority of Singapore with Elevandi, it typically draws tens of thousands of attendees from well over 100 countries.
What sets it apart is the regulator in the room. Central bankers, finance ministers and supervisors share the stage with banks, fintechs and investors, so policy and markets are discussed together rather than separately.
Tokenization, AI in financial services, digital assets and cross-border payments lead the agenda. MAS frequently uses the festival to launch pilots and frameworks, including its tokenization work with global banks.
If you want to know where Asian financial regulation is heading, Singapore in November is the best signal you’ll get.
