Ceridwen Choo
Chief Executive Officer
Cleanverse International Pte Ltd
Ceridwen Choo is Co-founder & CEO of Cleanverse International, which has developed a compliance trust infrastructure that programs the core pillars of TradFi financial governance onto every value transfer conducted on public blockchains. The interlocking of verified identity and verified assets enforces asset eligibility checks before value moves, and embeds travel rule compliance in real-time.
With over 20 years of experience in managing retail banking and payments businesses at notable organizations including DBS, HSBC, Railsbank and Mastercard, she has helmed strategic accountabilities on driving business profitability through revenue growth and product innovation. Previously CEO of DCS Innov (an intermediary of Diners Club Singapore), she launched Singapore’s first payment token issued by a non-bank financial institution licensed under the Banking Act. This led the 50-year old institution into its next growth phase as a leader that connects TradFi to DeFi through product innovation.
At Cleanverse, she is shaping the future of trusted, transparent and compliant on-chain finance that will be led by AI agentic platforms, ready for the next era of progammable finance.

About this session
As TradFi moves on-chain, can ownership of regulated digital assets remain anonymous? Programmed Governance offers a new model where trusted identity, asset eligibility and policy rules are checked and validated before value moves. As money becomes programmable, this session explores the next frontier: rewiring policy for an era of programmable value.

About this session
The more money behaves like software, the more the decisive questions become legal and political rather than technical. Who is liable when a smart contract executes exactly as written and wrongly? How do sanctions and AML function when compliance is embedded in code rather than checked after the fact? What does systemic resilience mean when value moves at machine speed and a flawed rule can propagate across the system in a single run cycle? We will close the track with the question programmable money must answer to earn its licence: governance-by-design or not at all.
