Singapore FinTech Festival 2026 runs from 18 to 20 November at Singapore EXPO and closes a busy autumn of events for Gravity Team across Singapore and Hong Kong. The team will spend the three festival days meeting people working across payments, banking, trading and digital-asset infrastructure.
The Monetary Authority of Singapore and the Global Finance & Technology Network organise the festival together with the Association of Banks in Singapore. It is one of the largest gatherings of policy, finance and technology anywhere in the world. The SFF 2026 programme expects more than 70,000 participants from 142 countries and regions, with over 940 speakers, more than 600 sponsors and exhibitors and around 840 central banks, regulators and government organisations taking part.
This year's theme is The Coming Rewiring of the Financial System, with a focus on new risks, new rules and new growth. When it announced the festival, MAS outlined five forces behind the programme, namely technology, geoeconomics, capital, talent and policy. Geoeconomics is closest to Gravity Team's daily work. As trade and capital flows shift and new economic corridors emerge, payment networks need liquidity that can move between currencies, markets and time zones.
Why SFF matters for digital assets
What makes SFF different from crypto-native conferences is who is in the room. Central banks, commercial banks, payment networks and fintech companies meet alongside digital-asset firms. That makes it one of the few places where policy, banking and on-chain infrastructure are discussed in the same halls.
Banks across Asia are testing tokenised deposits and on-chain settlement. Payment companies are looking at stablecoins as a way to fund accounts in other markets faster, including outside local banking hours. Regulators are setting the rules that will shape how these services grow.
Singapore is at the centre of much of this activity. It is a major international financial centre and a key link between global capital and Southeast Asia, where payment corridors into Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam and Thailand carry steady flows of remittances and business payments.
The festival is also built for meetings. Its SFF MeetUp programme is expected to arrange more than 20,000 pre-scheduled meetings between attendees, which makes the week a practical place to move conversations from introductions to concrete next steps.
Liquidity across payments and trading
Many conversations at SFF come back to liquidity. A payment corridor needs enough local currency at the destination to complete every payout. An exchange needs order books that hold up during volatile periods. A bank exploring stablecoins needs dependable conversion between fiat and digital dollars at the size its clients require.
Across Southeast Asia, these needs vary from one market to the next. Liquidity can be deep in US dollars and Singapore dollars and thinner in other regional currencies. Banking hours, cut-off times, local rules and payout infrastructure also differ between corridors, so a model that works in one market often needs a different setup in another.
Gravity Team has worked across global and emerging markets since 2017, supporting exchanges, institutions, payment companies and professional trading teams. Much of that work involves connecting liquidity across venues and currencies, so value can move between digital-asset and traditional financial systems with fewer delays.
Meet Gravity Team at SFF
Gravity Team will be represented at Singapore FinTech Festival by Martins Benkitis, CEO and Co-founder, Shrey Azad, Head of OTC Expansion, Alexis Carle, Business Development Director, Ralph Idio, Business Developer and Joshua Doan, AML Officer.
Over the three days, the team will meet banks, payment providers, exchanges, token issuers, asset managers, founders and infrastructure teams from across Asia and beyond.
If you are attending SFF and working on stablecoin settlement, cross-border payments, exchange liquidity, tokenisation or digital-asset trading, meet Gravity Team at Singapore EXPO.
See you in Singapore.
