The Future of Payments in Asia: Stablecoins, AI and Interoperability
summary
Asia already uses 700,000 merchants via QR PH for stablecoin spending and shows real-world remittance demand, with examples of Siargao and Boracay merchants accepting QR and wallets. The panel outlines concrete stacks: digital wallets funded by PayMaya, GCash or crypto, closed‑loop tokenized wallets that bridge casino EGMs and online play, a compliance layer using chain analysis, and AI for real‑time AML and fraud detection. Bitspark moves from education to a trader platform and interoperability remains early but trackable toward regional unification.
