About
The Corridor: Asia & Europe Two Regimes, One Rail. (Singapore ⇆ Vienna as the execution examples.) For the first time both ends of the corridor are writing the same rulebook at the same time. MiCAR is fully in force across the EU. In Singapore, MAS has its draft stablecoin law out for consultation until 16 October, nine days after this evening. Both ask for full reserves, redemption at par and orderly wind-down. Neither answers the practical question for a bank, a payment institution or an exchange: who moves money between the two regimes, at what cost, and what still breaks in the middle. Singapore and Vienna are where this evening takes its examples from, because each is the entry seat for the other side. The corridor itself runs the full width of Asia and Europe. Hosted by Advantage Austria, the event will be proudly sponsored by LDC EU, Black Manta Capital, Taxbit, EY Law, Bluecode, Talos and Digital Asset Association Austria. Event & Media Partner: VI3NNA Congress, Vienna. 18:00 Doors open.

20:10 Austrian buffet, wine and beer, off-the-record conversation until 22:00 How the evening works. One room, ninety minutes of programme, sixty people who each decide something. Everything said on the floor is under the Chatham House rule: what is said may be used, who said it is not. No recording of the discussion, no decks, no product pitches. One keynote, one panel, done by ten past eight, because the point of the evening is the conversation that follows. The event will bring together a diverse group of professionals, including: Finance and Crypto Leaders: Representatives from leading financial institutions, crypto enterprises, and fintech startups from the DACH region, Singapore and across Asia. German-Speaking Community: Entrepreneurs, investors, and professionals residing in Singapore with roots in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Diplomatic and Economic Representatives: Key figures from the Austrian Embassy and Advantage Austria, fostering economic ties between the regions.
