What Was Money 20/20 Asia 2024?
Money 20/20 Asia 2024 was the Asian edition of the world's largest fintech and payments event, held in Bangkok, Thailand, from 23 to 25 April 2024. It brought together banks, payment processors, fintechs, investors, and regulators from across Asia to explore the future of money movement, digital payments, and the evolving role of crypto and digital assets in the region's financial systems. The official page sat on the Money 20/20 Asia site. It is a fintech and payments event first, with crypto and digital assets as a major and growing theme.
Asia is the world's fastest-growing fintech region, and Bangkok is a fitting base for its flagship payments event. To follow fintech and crypto gatherings, see CoinGabbar's crypto events calendar and our digital asset events list.
Key Themes at Money 20/20 Asia
The agenda tracked where Asian finance is heading:
- Payments and money movement in Asia.
- Digital assets and stablecoins in payments.
- Open banking and embedded finance.
- Regulation across Asian markets.
The payments-first agenda attracted a senior, cross-regional crowd. Many guests also tracked broader blockchain events through CoinGabbar.
How Crypto Is Growing in Thailand and the Region
Thailand is one of Southeast Asia's more active crypto markets, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) overseeing digital assets under the country's Digital Asset Business Decree. Crypto is legal to trade on licensed platforms but cannot be used for everyday payments, and the government has exempted gains from selling crypto through licensed Thai exchanges from personal income tax for multiple years, a policy that has encouraged participation. Bitkub is the country's dominant licensed exchange.
Across the broader Asian region, the fintech and digital-asset story is one of the world's most dynamic. From Singapore's institutional frameworks and Hong Kong's retail licensing push to India's mass retail adoption and Vietnam's grassroots market, Asia holds both the fastest-growing fintech markets and some of the most diverse regulatory approaches. Money 20/20 Asia draws all of these strands together in one place, and Bangkok's central location in Southeast Asia makes it an ideal meeting point for the regional payments and fintech community.
