CodeCoin Named World Finance Forum “Tech Innovation Growth Enterprise”; Compliant Digital Payment Infrastructure Gains Industry Recognition
CodeCoin, a cross-border payment infrastructure provider, has been awarded the “Tech Innovation Growth Enterprise” honor at the 9th World Finance Forum Annual Conference. The recognition reflects growing industry acknowledgment of CodeCoin’s compliance-first approach to digital payments, and signals that regulated digital payment tools are emerging as a pillar of next-generation cross-border payment infrastructure.
The conference, themed “In Search of a New Anchor for Stability and Growth,” brought together senior policymakers and financial leaders. Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee delivered a video address. Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury Christopher Hui and Deputy Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority Darryl Chan attended in person, alongside Zhu Guangyao, Chief Advisor of the World Finance Forum and BRICS Think Tank. Discussions centered on shifts in the global economic and financial landscape, Hong Kong’s role as an international financial center,...
Speaking at the conference, CodeCoin CEO Huang Jianbin said: "As demand grows for cross-border trade settlement, overseas payments and digital-asset transfers, the market is setting a higher bar for next-generation cross-border payment infrastructure. New infrastructure must not only move money faster, but also establish more reliable and more compliant connections in an increasingly complex international environment. We believe compliant digital payment tools will be a key direction in upgrading cross-border payment infrastructure."
Huang noted that the structural friction long present in cross-border payments — high transaction fees, lengthy settlement cycles, layered intermediaries and limited service hours — is precisely what next-generation infrastructure has to solve. He argued the market needs a new payment layer that is more efficient, more transparent, auditable and fully compliant. Compared with the delay and cost of multi-tier correspondent banking and cross-time-zone clearing, compliant digital payment tools can reduce friction through peer-to-peer settlement networks and end-to-end traceability.
Huang further predicted that 2026 to 2028 will be the critical window for building this infrastructure layer. "Future payment systems will serve not only individuals and businesses, but also AI agents, autonomous vehicles and smart devices," he said.
He added: "Payment infrastructure has to evolve from serving humans alone to serving humans and machines together. Our ark-grade secure payment system is designed for exactly that reality: letting funds move quickly and arrive safely in complex environments, providing a reliable payment backbone for the next generation of economic activity in which people and machines participate side by side."
That outlook is rooted in a broader technological shift. As AI agents move from processing information to actively procuring compute resources, purchasing services, triggering contracts and completing settlement autonomously, payment systems must extend their design scope from human users and businesses to agents as well.
