Synagistics Launches Digital Finance Group for Stablecoins and Tokenization

The initiative marks Synagistics’ entry into programmable finance, targeting the seamless settlement of tokenized assets such as trade receivables, inventory, and future cash flows. The planned stablecoins will be pegged to key Asian currencies, including the Hong Kong Dollar, offshore Renminbi, and Singapore Dollar, laying the foundation for faster and more efficient cross-border financial transactions.

SDFG will be headed by Katherine Tsang, former Chairperson of Greater China at Standard Chartered and founder of Max Giant Capital. With her extensive experience in banking, asset management, and financial governance, Tsang will oversee the development of institutional-grade payment infrastructure to support Asia’s expanding digital economy.

“Stablecoins and real-world asset tokenization will transform how capital flows across Asia,”

said Olive Tai, CEO of Synagistics.

“With SDFG, we are creating the financial rails that will enable cross-border liquidity and programmable settlement at scale.”

The company plans to integrate its stablecoin and tokenization solutions into established trade and e-commerce networks. Through partnerships with China Post Hong Kong and Jiangsu Soho, a state-owned Belt and Road Initiative enterprise, Synagistics will embed its financial infrastructure into AI-driven trade platforms spanning 11 countries. This is expected to drive adoption among SMEs and exporters by linking logistics, commerce, and programmable finance within a single ecosystem.

With Southeast Asia’s e-commerce gross merchandise value projected to exceed USD 295 billion by 2025 and intra-Asia trade expected to surpass USD 700 billion, Synagistics is positioning its platform to meet the region’s rising demand for regulatory-compliant digital finance solutions. 

This launch comes as Hong Kong prepares to enforce its new Stablecoin Ordinance on August 1, which will make it a criminal offence to issue or promote fiat -referenced stablecoins (FRS) to retail investors without a license. Violators face fines of up to 50,000 Hong Kong dollars (approximately $6,300) and imprisonment of up to six months.
