Taiwan FinTech Association Honorary Chairman Tsai Yu-ling stated, “FinTech is not just a revolution in finance and technology; it also significantly changes human behavior and the overall operation of the economy and society. AI and blockchain are the two key technologies that will shape the future of financial technology and bring us great challenges. At this crucial turning point, FinTechOn 2024 has created a unique platform to invite everyone to exchange international experiences, form a more suitable regulatory environment, and effectively combat crime.”
In addition, the Asia FinTech Alliance (AFA) will participate for the first time in the annual FinTechOn forum. AFA, an international alliance officially formed at the Singapore FinTech Festival (SFF) last year (2023), currently has 14 FinTech associations as members, representing 14 Asian economies. It is chaired by Tsai Yu-ling as the first president.
According to a report released by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) last month, the reported amount of fraud related to cryptocurrency in 2023 exceeded $5.6 billion, a 45% increase from the previous year. In response to this increasingly urgent challenge, cross-border joint defense and public-private cooperation are crucial. The forum will also showcase real cases to highlight the cooperative effectiveness of law enforcement and the industry in combating fraud.
In addition, AFA members will sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to initiate international cooperation in cross-border anti-fraud efforts and, for the first time, jointly release the “Breaking Waves: Exploring the Frontiers of Financial Technology” white paper with KPMG, demonstrating the development of FinTech in Asia. AFA members will participate in these two important events both online and offline.
