Speakers

Jump to

In partnership with Carey Olsen and Halogen Capital, we will host an invitation-only roundtable in Malaysia exploring the next stage of institutional digital asset adoption.

Yiow Chong Tan, our Director – South East Asia at Jersey Finance, will host the event, alongside Chris Griffin, Partner at Carey Olsen in Jersey and Fuad Alhabshi, Executive Director at Halogen Capital.

Drawing on recent case studies from Malaysia and Jersey involving the tokenisation of real-world assets and digital asset exchange-traded funds (ETFs), the discussion will consider what has enabled these transactions to succeed and the practical lessons they offer.

Participants will also examine the measures needed from regulators and commercial organisations to support wider institutional participation, including greater regulatory clarity, robust governance, suitable market infrastructure and greater confidence across the investment ecosystem.

Attendance is by invitation only. If you have any queries about this event, please contact our events team.
