About this session
Hyunil Jang, CFO of title sponsor DB Securities, gave the opening address for Builder Day. He explains why the trust, accountability and discipline of traditional finance need to meet blockchain's openness and composability, what DB Securities is actually doing in digital assets, and offers three proposals to builders.
Key takeaways
- Finance brings capital and trust, while builders bring possibility and execution. Jang said that if the two worlds connect well, the cost and time of issuing, managing and settling assets can drop sharply while opening opportunities to more participants.
- Investors' questions (who guarantees their rights, how asset value is verified, how personal data is protected, who is liable when something fails) do not slow innovation, he stressed. They are what keep good technology in the market for the long run.
- DB Securities is looking for teams that treat regulation, security and user experience as the first step of product design, not the last stage of development. Having code in place, he noted, does not make financial responsibility disappear.
- In Busan, DB Securities is running a project to develop and commercialize a carbon-reduction STO platform with MarinaChain, Anam145, Waterline Partners and others, based on cash flows from carbon-reduction equipment and financial leases in shipping.
- Through a strategic partnership with the Optimism Foundation, the firm is reviewing what role Ethereum-based technology can play in STO and RWA business. The final network, architecture and service structure will be decided after security, regulatory and business reviews.
- His three proposals to builders: look closely at real problems, build small pilots together that can grow into real business rather than demos for show, and set standards for long-term collaboration that include user protection.
