He sold UnionPay to Fifth Avenue jewellers with a crystal logo. Now Jia Hang is betting stablecoins will make payment equal settlement.

Jia Hang is Executive Chairman of DCS Group, the Singapore company that started life as Diners Club Singapore in 1973. He has spent more than two decades in payments, starting at the People’s Bank of China in Shenzhen, where he wrote the rules for auditing banks’ computer systems.

How a failed Chinatown rollout led UnionPay to duty free stores and crystal logos in luxury shop windows

Why he first thought QR payments were unsafe, then left UnionPay for Ant

Why he believes stablecoins merge the data flow and the money flow, and where DCS fits as a Web 2.5 bridge
