APAC DAO at APEX 2025 by Ripple: Advancing Cross-Border Collaboration on XRPL

At this year’s APEX 2025 by Ripple, APAC DAO was honored to join an influential session spotlighting regional collaboration and ecosystem advancement across the Asia-Pacific.

Our Founder, Ms. Nicole Nguyen, joined a distinguished panel alongside representatives from Catalyze Research (Korea), the XRPL Japan Association, and Tenity (Singapore). Together, they reflected on the evolving role of Asia as a driver of innovation for the XRP Ledger (XRPL) and the broader decentralized finance landscape.

The conversation highlighted the rising momentum of real-world use cases emerging across the region, particularly in areas such as:

1. Stablecoin adoption at the retail and cross-border level
2. Tokenization of real-world assets for institutional innovation
3. Web3-powered payment solutions being piloted by traditional and digital-native institutions

As one of the key regional enablers, APAC DAO reaffirmed its commitment to building a stronger, more unified XRPL community in Asia through the XRPL APAC Alliance — an open and collaborative initiative that fosters education, adoption, and integration across markets.

“The attention on Asia is very real — and the opportunity is even greater. We believe XRPL can provide the infrastructure needed to support the next wave of inclusive, efficient, and scalable financial services in the region.”

— Nicole Nguyen, Founder of APAC DAO

We are actively seeking partners — from developers and ecosystem projects to institutional stakeholders — to join us in shaping the future of the XRPL APAC Alliance.

Our next destination: Vietnam, where APAC DAO will continue the momentum at GM Vietnam and Conviction 2025 — two flagship gatherings for Web3, enterprise, and developer communities.

Stay connected as we scale what’s possible — together!
