In addition to the main agenda, the conference will include a networking zone where participants can connect with global and regional capital, meet curated projects vetted for institutional readiness, identify partners and market-entry pathways into Vietnam, and build relationships with institutions active in digital assets.

The Ho Chi Minh City edition builds on HSC Conference Cannes 2026, which brought together more than 50 speakers, including leading figures from the digital asset industry and traditional finance, to discuss institutional adoption, stablecoins, infrastructure, AI, and RWAs. The Ho Chi Minh event will extend those discussions to how blockchain moves beyond pilots into real financial infrastructure, what institutional adoption looks like at scale, and why mature infrastructure has not yet reached mainstream markets.

“We are bringing together the operators already moving assets on-chain, the institutions weighing their entry, and the infrastructure layers that must perform under real market conditions. If you are building or allocating in this space, this is where the next phase begins.” — Vadim Krekotin, Managing Partner, HSC Asset Group

The conference is supported by Sonic Labs, Hypernative, Securosys, Fystack, Birdeye, Mercuryo, Addressable, and Kanga Global, and is positioned as part of Ho Chi Minh City’s effort to become a regional center for technology, innovation, and digital transformation in Southeast Asia.
