SFF 2024 Recap: Learnings & Insights

Rakkar sponsored the Singapore FinTech Festival 2024 from 6 – 8 November 2024. The event was a memorable experience for Rakkar, bringing together our clients, industry friends, and new connections. Here’s a look back at our highlights from booth 3A17, an expert panel on cybersecurity, and an exclusive evening for the third edition of our signature event series, Custody in Burgundy.  

Energizing Mornings in Singapore Expo Hall 3

Kicking off each day with coffee for the early risers and those requiring a mid-day boost, our space created a comfortable space for custody education, insightful conversations, and the chance to exchange perspectives on the future of finance and digital assets. As the day progressed, we transitioned to beer in the afternoons, setting a laid-back atmosphere that invited attendees to unwind after a long day of walking the grounds and connecting over a cold beer.  

Attendees learned about our fully segregated custodial solutions that support over 1,000 tokens across 40+ chains and offer bank-grade security certified with ISO 27001 and SOC 1 and SOC 2 attestations. They also discovered how we compare to others in the realm of service excellence, with our 24/7 support, the industry’s fastest SLAs, and proprietary governance features that set us apart.  

Thought Leadership on Cybersecurity Talent and TPRM

Rakkar commitment to leadership extended to the expert discussions happening at the festival. Rakkar’s CISO & CRCO, Thomas Kung, joined a high-impact panel on “Talent & Third Parties in Cyber” Building the Future Workforce,” alongside cybersecurity leaders like Niko Akatyev, Principal Consultant at Horangi Cyber Security (a Bitdefender company), and Rowena Lee, Director at HRS Talents - Cyber. Moderated by Tobias Klingel, Head of Information Security at Aspire, the panel explored the growing significance of Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) in today’s digital landscape, emphasizing the need for skilled cybersecurity professionals and strategies for building a resilient workforce.

3rd Edition of Custody in Burgundy with Gemini and Talos

The first day of SFF2024 was highlighted by our 3rd edition of Custody in Burgundy, a signature event hosted alongside our esteemed partners Gemini and Talos. Together, we hosted an intimate gathering that celebrated the future of digital assets with friends, colleagues, and new connections from across the globe.  

Held in the heart of Singapore, each edition of Custody in Burgundy features a unique curation of burgundy wines chosen personally by our Founder & CEO, Arthit Sriumporn. The evening was not just about savoring fine wines together as one; it was also a moment to reflect on the incredible advancements in the digital asset landscape made possible with all the attendees in the room while forging stronger relationships in an ever-evolving industry. Here’s a clink to the brighter future ahead!  

A Growing Community Built on Innovation

Our time at #SFF2024 has shown market maturity and curiosity compared to our previous years and that underscored the strength of the community of early movers that fueled the digital asset space. From our booth conversations to the special moments shared at Custody in Burgundy, we were reminded of the importance of partnerships and shared goals in shaping a more secure and innovative financial future.
