EP 04: Wealth Management in 2026: The Rising Impact of Digital Assets

OCTOBER 13, 2025

In this episode, Marcus Ling — Founder & CEO of Ascendant GlobalCredit Group — breaks down how digital assets, blockchain infrastructure, and data-driven intelligence are reshaping modern portfolio strategy. Drawing from his experience advising high-net-worth clients across Southeast Asia, Marcus explains how tokenization, real-time analytics, and smarter risk models are opening new pathways for diversification, yield generation, and cross-border wealth expansion. He also shares practical leadership lessons for wealth managers navigating this shift — from building client trust around new asset classes to integrating digital infrastructure without disrupting core advisory workflows.
