From pilots to public systems, experts explore identity, payments and compliance at national scale
Singapore, Sept. 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Beyond the noise of market speculation, a quiet but significant shift is underway: governments and institutions are moving blockchain from experiment to essential infrastructure. This transition will take center stage at Blockchain for Nations and Institutions, a dedicated, full-day event during TOKEN2049 week in Singapore, hosted by RYT, the Layer 1 blockchain designed for real-world applications.
Taking place on Tuesday, September 30, the invite-only gathering will spotlight how governments are implementing blockchain and its impact on national infrastructure. Attendees will engage directly with senior officials from different countries, notable institutional and TradFi leaders actively deploying blockchain solutions.
Through candid panel discussions and curated networking, the event will explore the practical realities of building next-generation systems for digital identity, stablecoins, and compliance-ready payments.
“Blockchain is entering a new era, evolving from pilot projects to critical infrastructure for governments and institutions. RYT was designed from the ground up to meet these standards, with security, compliance, and scalability at its core,” said Jeff Mahony, Co-founder and Chief Architect of RYT. “At TOKEN2049, we’re convening leaders to discuss how blockchain is being built into national systems for identity, payments, and financial services.”
The urgency for this shift is clear. Today, more than 130 countries, representing 98% of global GDP, are exploring digital currencies. From Estonia’s established e-governance systems to Singapore’s Project Guardian for tokenized assets, the move to onchain infrastructure is accelerating.
