GFTN Blockchain Guardians Programme

GFTN | Aug 2025 – Nov 2025

A structured industry immersion programme under the Global Financial Technology Network, focused on blockchain and digital assets in the Singapore financial ecosystem.

What It Involved

The Guardians programme brought together a cohort of students and early-career practitioners for direct exposure to organisations operating at the frontier of blockchain in finance — including Crypto.com and Banking Circle, where we were taken through their tokenized deposit infrastructure.

Not a workshop series. Real organisations, real systems, real conversations with the people building them.

What I Took From It

The gap between how blockchain is taught and how it's actually deployed in financial services is significant. The programme closed part of that gap — and it led directly to being selected for GFTN Next Gen Leaders the following month.
