KUB Global Bangkok 2026 brought together executives, industry experts, developers, investors, and partners from across the ecosystem to exchange perspectives on the future of blockchain and regional financial infrastructure.
Held on August 28, 2026, at ZillaSpace, FYI Center in Bangkok, the event featured participation from global partners including Agora, Ondo, Superteam Thailand, and TRON, along with Liberix, 1109 Prime, and DeLorean Labs.
For ChillPay, the event also marked an opportunity to contribute to the conversation around the future of digital payments. Permbun Aimsupasit, Founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of PraIn FinTech Co., Ltd., joined the stage at KUB Global Bangkok 2026, representing another step in ChillPay’s participation in discussions surrounding Thailand’s evolving digital finance ecosystem.
KUB Global Bangkok 2026 and Four Pillars of Digital Finance
The event explored the development of digital finance through four key pillars, covering payment infrastructure, on-chain assets, Web3 ecosystem expansion, and the broader adoption of blockchain technology.
1. Programmable Payment & Financial Infrastructure
One of the key themes was Programmable Payment & Financial Infrastructure, focusing on the future of payment systems through THBK Programmable Payment and the connections between financial infrastructure, Payment Gateways, merchants, and businesses.
Programmable Payment introduces the concept of transactions that can operate according to predefined conditions through technology. This represents a broader evolution of payment infrastructure beyond simply transferring funds toward systems that can support more flexible financial use cases.
For businesses, this development is particularly relevant as payment infrastructure continues to evolve alongside changing technologies and customer expectations.
2. RWA, Tokenization & On-Chain Finance
The event also explored Real World Assets (RWA), Tokenization, and On-Chain Finance, highlighting the growing connection between physical or traditional assets and blockchain-based infrastructure.
Tokenization creates new ways for real-world assets to be represented within blockchain ecosystems, expanding the potential use cases of the technology beyond digital asset trading alone.
The discussion reflects a broader direction in which blockchain infrastructure is increasingly being considered for financial applications connected to real-world assets and services.
3. Web3 Ecosystem, Developers & Regional Expansion
Building a sustainable Web3 ecosystem requires more than technology alone. Developers, businesses, partners, and communities all play a role in expanding its practical applications.
KUB Global Bangkok 2026 therefore placed emphasis on Web3 ecosystem development and regional expansion, bringing together participants from different parts of the industry to exchange knowledge and explore opportunities for collaboration.
This direction also reflects the concept of open financial infrastructure, where the ecosystem grows through connections between multiple participants rather than operating within a single organization.
4. KUB Chain Mass Adoption & Everyday Web3
Another pillar focused on bringing Web3 closer to everyday users through applications such as Membership, Loyalty, and Digital Assets.
The event also featured the keynote “KUB Chain 2026: Vision, Growth & Tokenomics” by Pasakorn Pannok, President of KUB, as well as the introduction of a new version of KUB Wallet under the concept “Your Everyday Wallet.”
Together, these developments reflect an effort to move blockchain and Web3 technologies toward practical applications that can become more closely connected with everyday digital experiences.
Programmable Payment and the Role of Payment Gateways
For ChillPay, Programmable Payment & Financial Infrastructure is particularly relevant because it connects directly with the broader payment ecosystem in which Payment Gateways, merchants, financial infrastructure, and consumers interact.
While Programmable Payment looks toward payment processes that can operate according to predefined conditions, today’s Payment Gateways serve as an important connection between businesses and the payment methods their customers already use.
The development of new financial infrastructure does not necessarily mean that existing and future payment systems must operate separately. Instead, it reflects an expanding financial ecosystem with more technologies, participants, and potential ways for businesses to connect payment services with their operations.
Regardless of how payment technology evolves, one fundamental business requirement remains the same: customers need a simple and convenient way to pay.
ChillPay’s Role in Thailand’s Digital Finance Ecosystem
ChillPay’s participation in KUB Global Bangkok 2026 provided an opportunity to exchange perspectives with industry participants on the changing direction of payment systems and digital financial infrastructure.
As blockchain, Tokenization, RWA, Web3, and Programmable Payment continue to introduce new possibilities to the financial industry, businesses still need payment solutions that fit their current operations and customer behavior.
Today, ChillPay continues to focus on providing Payment Gateway services for Thai businesses, supporting payment methods currently used by customers, including cards, PromptPay, and e-Wallets.
At the same time, developments in blockchain-based payments and new financial infrastructure represent an important area for the payment industry to follow. The arrival of new technologies and infrastructure providers can contribute to a broader digital finance ecosystem and potentially create more options for businesses over time.
For ChillPay, participating in industry events such as KUB Global Bangkok 2026 is therefore not only about following technology trends. It also provides an opportunity to exchange knowledge with the wider ecosystem and gain new perspectives that can contribute to the continued development of payment services for Thai businesses.
As Thailand’s digital finance landscape continues to evolve, the connection between financial infrastructure, Payment Gateways, merchants, technology providers, and consumers will remain an important part of building payment experiences that work for businesses today while preparing for the possibilities of tomorrow.
