Synagistics Limited, a leading AI-powered digital commerce platform in Southeast Asia, has announced the launch of its Digital Finance Group (SDFG). This strategic initiative is set to develop interoperable multi-currency stablecoins and real-world asset tokenisation solutions, marking Synagistics’ entry into the programmable finance sector. The initiative aims to bridge traditional financial systems with blockchain infrastructure, enabling tokenised settlements of real-world assets like trade receivables and inventory using stablecoins pegged to multiple fiat currencies, including the Hong Kong Dollar, offshore Renminbi, and Singapore Dollar.
The venture will be led by Katherine Tsang, former Chairperson of Greater China at Standard Chartered, alongside a team of seasoned industry veterans. Tsang emphasised the importance of creating a “trusted, scalable solution that supports sovereign currencies, enhances regional liquidity, and empowers businesses with 24/7 programmable money.”
Synagistics is leveraging its existing infrastructure and partnerships to accelerate the adoption of SDFG’s solutions. Collaborations include a digital trade platform with China Post Hong Kong and a pan-regional AI-powered trade corridor with Jiangsu Soho, a major Belt and Road Initiative enterprise. These partnerships aim to support SMEs and exporters by providing faster, more transparent, and cost-effective financial solutions.
As Asia-Pacific emerges as a hub for digital trade, with Southeast Asia’s e-commerce GMV expected to surpass $295 billion by 2025, the demand for regulatory-compliant stablecoins and tokenised assets is anticipated to grow. Synagistics’ initiative positions it at the forefront of this digital finance transformation, offering scalable and compliant solutions to meet the region’s evolving needs.
