Binance Blockchain Week Bangkok 2026 unveils first wave of speakers, spotlighting the convergence of traditional finance and digital assets - Business Insider Africa
Binance has announced the first wave of speakers for its Blockchain Week Bangkok 2026 event, set for November 28-29, focusing on the merging of traditional finance and digital assets.
The flagship event returns to Asia at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre, marking a strategic homecoming as traditional finance and digital assets converge across the region's rapidly expanding markets. Under this year's theme, 'Evolve', the programme reflects an inflection point in digital finance where traditional and digital markets are converging on shared infrastructure.
Regulatory Shift
The event will bring leading pan-regional policymakers together, including Gizzat Baitursynov, Vice Minister of Kazakhstan, and Shaun Tan from Bhutan's Gelephu Mindfulness City. Their presence reflects a defining shift as regulators and builders increasingly work side by side to set clear guardrails for the industry.
Regulatory innovation is no longer confined to traditional financial centres. Increasingly, emerging jurisdictions are shaping the future of digital finance. The regulatory frameworks and financial infrastructure countries build today will determine where capital flows, where companies choose to grow, and which markets lead tomorrow.
Industry Leaders
The programme brings together recognized leaders across finance, technology, and digital assets, including Arthur Hayes of Maelstrom, Sushant Singh of Tether, and CZ. Leaders from global financial institutions like BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, Visa, and technology companies including Ondo Finance and BNB Chain will also participate.
Crypto media and research voices including Nic Puckrin of Coin Bureau, Joshua de Vos of CoinDesk, and Alex Svanevik of Nansen will feature in the program, which will focus on improving access, strengthening user protections, and delivering seamless experiences as traditional finance and digital assets converge.
