Founder & Group CEO

DigiFT

Henry Zhang is the Founder and Group CEO of DigiFT, a licensed digital asset platform focused on institutional-grade tokenized real-world assets. He brings more than two decades of senior leadership experience across global banking, financial technology, and regulated market infrastructure. Before founding DigiFT, Henry held senior executive roles at major international financial institutions, including Deputy CEO of China at Citibank and Standard Chartered Bank, and CEO of Greater China at East West Bank. His career spans banking leadership, risk management, franchise development, cross-border finance, and financial technology innovation. In 2020, Henry founded DigiFT in Singapore to build regulated infrastructure for the tokenization, issuance, distribution, and trading of real-world assets. Under his leadership, DigiFT became the first on-chain RWA exchange to be licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, with its Hong Kong entity licensed by the SFC for Type 1 and Type 4 regulated activities. The platform supports institutional-grade tokenized assets across money market funds, fixed income, private credit, real estate, gold, and other real-world asset strategies. Today, Henry works closely with regulators, asset managers, banks, and Web3 ecosystem partners to advance the adoption of compliant tokenized finance. He is a frequent speaker and commentator on the convergence of traditional finance and digital asset infrastructure, with a focus on how blockchain can improve distribution, settlement, transparency, and access within regulated financial markets.
