The event, co-hosted by the Korea Fintech Industry Association and Yonsei University’s Graduate School of Environmental Finance, examined domestic policy tasks and directions for Asian cooperation. Speakers addressed token securities, stablecoins, carbon-credit digitisation and blockchain-based infrastructure.
