Synagistics Launches SDFG to Boost Asia's Digital Finance

Synagistics Limited, Southeast Asia's top AI-driven digital commerce platform, has formally entered the programmable finance arena with the establishment of Synagistics Digital Finance Group (SDFG). The endeavor aims to create multi-currency stablecoins and tokenization solutions for real-world assets to construct Asia's future digital finance infrastructure.

SDFG will connect conventional finance and blockchain technologies by allowing the tokenized settlement of assets like trade receivables, inventory, and future cash flows. These settlements will be made with stablecoins that are pegged to different Asian currencies, including the HKD, offshore RMB (CNY-H), and SGD, enhancing cross-border liquidity, interoperability, and efficiency in trade finance.

Key Highlights:

• Synagistics launches SDFG to develop multi-currency stablecoins and tokenized real-world asset solutions across Asia
• SDFG aims to bridge traditional finance with blockchain, enhancing cross-border liquidity and trade efficiency
• Led by Katherine Tsang, the initiative will leverage AI-powered platforms to fast-track adoption in BRI and Southeast Asian markets

Olive Tai, CEO of Synagistics Limited said, “As Asia hurtles toward digital integration, the financial rails that fuel trade need to change. With SDFG, we're establishing critical infrastructure to unlock efficiencies and financial inclusion along Asia's rapidly growing trade corridors.”

SDFG will be headed by Katherine Tsang, ex-Chairperson Greater China at Standard Chartered and present Independent Non-Executive Director at China CITIC Bank International and Fidelity Emerging Markets. "Our mission is to build a trusted, scalable platform that enables sovereign currencies, increases regional liquidity, and empowers businesses with 24/7 programmable money," Tsang said.

Supported by Synagistics' current relationships with China Post Hong Kong and Jiangsu Soho, SDFG is investing programmable finance into AI-driven trade platforms. These moves will benefit SMEs and exporters by speeding up real-time payments and settlements, particularly in Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) markets.

With Southeast Asia's e-commerce GMV projected to exceed USD 295 billion by 2025, and intra-Asia trade at over USD 700 billion, SDFG is well-positioned to be a leading player in addressing increasing demand for compliant, tokenized finance solutions.
