SuperBridge Council, added: “We are thrilled to announce that we will be hosting the

second edition of the SuperBridge Summit, which represents a visionary and bold initiative

made possible through our collaboration with DWTC. The resounding success of last year’s
edition is a testament to the burgeoning economic prowess of the world’s east and south. The

summit serves as a hub for interdisciplinary and international partnerships, highlighting
emerging talents poised to tackle global challenges directly.”

The SuperBridge Summit is known to be a key enabler of positive economic impact. For

following the event, undertaking major travel expansion initiatives. Moreover, a prototype and
live demo of tokenization platform called Project Diamond of Coinbase Asset Management

was featured at the summit. It sparked a lot of engagement, and the platform is now live.
