APAC DAO at FinTechOn 2025

We are delighted to announce that Nicole Nguyen, Founder of APAC DAO and the Vietnam Fintech Summit, will be taking the stage at FinTechOn 2025 in Taipei, hosted by the Taiwan FinTech Association.

This year’s FinTechOn, happening on 1–2 September 2025 at the Shangri-La Far Eastern, brings together industry leaders, innovators, and policymakers from across Asia to explore the next wave of financial technology innovation.

Topic: Digital Assets Driving FinTech Adoption in Vietnam

Nicole’s focus talk will spotlight how digital assets are shaping the fintech landscape in Vietnam, one of the most dynamic and fast-growing markets in Southeast Asia. With Vietnam’s young population, high mobile penetration, and rapidly expanding digital economy, the country is quickly becoming a strategic hub for fintech innovation.

 

Key themes Nicole will cover:

🔹 Financial Inclusion at Scale

How digital assets can expand access to financial services for Vietnam’s underserved and mobile-first population.

 

🔹 Payments & Remittances Reinvented

Vietnam is one of the top remittance-receiving countries in the world. Nicole will explore how digital assets are making cross-border payments faster, cheaper, and more transparent.

 

🔹 Tokenized Investments

From real estate to corporate bonds, tokenization is opening new opportunities for retail investors and SMEs in Vietnam — democratizing access to previously exclusive asset classes.

 

🔹 Vietnam as ASEAN’s Rising FinTech Hub

With strong government support, a flourishing startup ecosystem, and growing international partnerships, Vietnam is positioned to lead fintech innovation in the ASEAN region.
