The biggest opportunities in event aren't always just on stage, they often begin with a simple conversation. One of the things Singapore Blockchain Week also aims to bring together is an industry conferences that isn't just the content, but also people you meet and the unexpected connections that happen along the way. A recent example... During SuperAI (10–11 June), our producer @wendyvanessayew were introduced to @richardjhobbs with @ysiu . Within a week, that introduction had evolved into a collaboration, with Agentic Commerce supporting Singapore Blockchain Week's AI-powered ticketing initiative. Less than a month later in @WebX_Asia (13–14 July), where Singapore Blockchain Week was proud to be an Official Event Partner. Organised by @coin_post, one of Asia's leading Web3 media companies backed by SoftBank Investment, WebX brought together founders, investors, developers, enterprises, regulators, and ecosystem leaders from around the world. It was great to reconnect with Yat Siu, meet Naoki Matsuo - CEO of Animoca Brands Japan, and engage with many inspiring founders, investors, builders, and ecosystem leaders from across the region. One thing became even clearer throughout the journey: Our industry continues to be built on relationships. - Every introduction. - Every coffee chat. - Every booth visit. - Every spontaneous conversation. These moments open doors to new ideas, partnerships, investments, customers, speakers, sponsors, and lifelong friendships. You never know which conversation will shape your next chapter. Rebuilding Singapore Blockchain Week 2026 (13–17 November) hasn't been easy. Behind the scenes is a passionate volunteer organising committee committed to creating something bigger than just another conference. We believe Southeast Asia deserves a platform that genuinely connects ecosystems, industries, governments, enterprises, investors, startups, and communities. Our vision is ambitious: 🌏 The world's first Cross-Border Blockchain Week, connecting 🇸🇬 Singapore with the 🇲🇾 Johor–Singapore Special Economic Zone (JS-SEZ), creating new opportunities for innovation, investment, digital assets, AI, stablecoins, tokenisation, and cross-border collaboration. To everyone we've met along the journey—from Consensus Hong Kong in February, SuperAI Singapore, WebX Tokyo, and beyond—thank you for your trust, introductions, and belief in what we're building. This is only the beginning. If you're interested in speaking, sponsoring, exhibiting, partnering, volunteering, or bringing your community to Singapore, we'd love to hear from you.

This is the biggest irony of the whole Alice Huang / Nvidia saga: the Chinese government actually doesn't want Nvidia chips and is actively keeping them out of the country. Last year it even ordered Alibaba and ByteDance to cancel their Nvidia orders ( and sent customs teams to the ports to check every advanced chip coming in ( And right now 600,000 Nvidia H200s are stuck in Hong Kong because Beijing won’t let them into the country ( Nvidia also explicitly frames this as a threat to its business in its latest annual report to the SEC: "The Chinese government has encouraged customers to purchase from our China-based competitors and discouraged customers from purchasing, importing, or using our data center products" ( Why does China do that? Because every Nvidia chip a Chinese company buys is one that Huawei or Cambricon doesn’t sell, and domestic chips can only catch up if people actually buy them (which means money for R&D, etc.). Which means that the notion that Chinese intelligence was running honeytraps to get more Nvidia chips into China gets the whole thing exactly backwards. In fact, it looks like Megaspeed - Alice Huang's company - was a counter-reaction to official Chinese policy: a private sector workaround to these efforts by the Chinese government to curtail Nvidia. As was widely reported - including by Western media - Megaspeed built data centers in Southeast Asia and rented their computing power to Alibaba, which the New York Times called "a backdoor way of getting access" to Nvidia chips ( That is a backdoor not only - allegedly - around Washington’s export controls, but also around China's own efforts to wean its companies off Nvidia. I can’t believe the Chinese government was too thrilled about it: it'd make just about zero sense for it to run countless domestic measures to prevent Alibaba from using Nvidia chips, yet at the same time have its top spy agency help the same Alibaba get Nvidia chips through the back door in Southeast Asia 🤷 At the end of the day, as with all such stories, you always need to look at "cui bono?": who benefits? Who benefitted is pretty clear: - Nvidia itself: it's in the business of selling chips so a customer willing to spend billions of dollars on chips in Southeast Asia is a godsend. Again, as they themselves state in their SEC filings, not being able to tap into Chinese demand would have "a material and adverse impact on our business" ( - Chinese companies like Alibaba: facts are, 1) Chinese chips haven't yet caught up, 2) Chinese chip companies' production capabilities are still limited and 3) Chinese tech firms' historical tech stack runs on Nvidia’s CUDA ecosystem, and rewriting years of code for Huawei chips is painful. Renting Nvidia chips in Southeast Asia is the easy way to stay competitive and serve customer demand in the meantime. - The US, according to core members of the Trump administration: back in July last year, US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick explained that the point of letting Nvidia sell more chips to China was to get Chinese developers "addicted to the American technology stack" ( Who does NOT benefit, according to official Chinese policy, is the Chinese state, which has made tech self-reliance one of its foremost priorities. Which means that, to believe the spy story, you have to believe that a person - Alice Huang - was effectively a spy paid by her own government while simultaneously sabotaging its tech self-reliance drive, which it has spent years and trillions of dollars on - pretty senseless. Stranger things have happened, I guess, but it doesn't pass the smell test. And there is another absolutely major contradiction in the media story. According to a Financial Times article published yesterday ( "a person who knows [Alice Huang] said they had been asked by MSS for information about her earlier this year after news emerged that Singapore was investigating the company in relation to chip-smuggling allegations. The agency wanted to find out more information about Huang, including the nature of her business and connections, the person said." Which raises a damn obvious question: if she were indeed an MSS asset, why on earth would the MSS need to ask the people around her who she was and the nature of her business? It's a complete contradiction with the spy story - but very much not a contradiction with what I described above: a private businesswoman running a workaround to Beijing’s own policy, which the Chinese security apparatus would naturally want to look into. Especially since, around about the same time, Shanghai police detained her business partner, reportedly her husband, in a stock manipulation case ( also coherent with Chinese authorities looking into her network, and much harder to square with her being a prized MSS asset. And, to top it all, there is - to this day - not a shred of evidence that's been published that she is, in fact, a Chinese spy: just anonymous intelligence officials, repeated by journalists who never verified it, as I detailed here ( and here ( with one of the key FT journalists on this story actually admitting that he has no idea what evidence US intelligence actually has. So the claim went to print without anyone seeing the evidence, without anyone being able to check it, and without anyone knowing whether it even exists. And given everything above, from Beijing blocking the very chips she was supposedly recruited to help get into China, to the MSS asking around about her, to her partner being detained in Shanghai, my bet is that the evidence doesn’t exist at all. If anything, everything we can check points the other way.

Five and a half years ago, @crispheaney, @bigz_pubkey, @davijlu and I set out on a weird, winding, and wonderful journey to build a perpetual futures exchange. The crypto market structure was extremely immature then. Perps were just starting out, most DeFi users were paying $200 to execute a single transaction on Ethereum. We were one of the first to bring a fully on-chain perpetual DEX to market and launched for the first time on Solana in November 2021. Today, as the exchange relaunches and enters its next chapter, I'm stepping down from Drift, now @VelocityDEX. I'm extremely proud of what we built – one of the largest exchanges on Solana with over $150B traded. Chris and Z, our technical cofounders, led the technology front to build every piece of the exchange stack, while David and I put together an incredible and experienced growth and operational team. I poured my heart, soul, and many years of the most insane ups and downs into building and growing Drift – a gruelling, but immensely fulfilling journey. In many ways, it felt like my first child. This April, we faced a state-level attack by DPRK, after a long-planned six months of social engineering infiltration. Going through it and the aftermath was by far the worst week of my life. Within ten sleepless nights, we closed a deal with Tether that put users on a path to recovery. We hired @redacted_noah, ex-head of protocol engineering at Helium, to lead the rebuild of Velocity’s smart contract technology, a difficult task he took on enthusiastically and with zest. We brought on @namanmtl, who joins us from Binance and Trust Wallet to lead Growth and Recovery to grow our trader base for the relaunch. I am proud of my team who stepped up to take initiative above and beyond – especially @tracybbd who personally took the pains to speak to every single trader and market maker on the exchange. Over the next few months, the team refused to quit and hunkered down to rebuild the exchange with a full security upgrade. Designing DFX as well as coordinating on multi-nation asset recovery working alongside @zeroShadow_io and local law enforcement agencies to freeze assets was a huge feat. This week, Velocity finalized their audit by @osec_io and @asymmetric_re and fully open-sourced the exchange. After a long and arduous journey, with many security audits in tow and with massive effort from the team, the exchange relaunches today – even better and faster than before. I would like to shout out the incredible team that will be carrying on the Velocity product. @davijlu, along with Foundation, will continue to move on the asset recovery and law enforcement work. @redacted_noah will continue to build out Velocity’s technology, shipping new features like CLOB and Prop AMM that will make the product even better and smoother. @Defioppa, who previously led product at Binance, will continue to lead the product at Velocity. @tracybbd will lead partnerships and stakeholder relationships. @namanmtl will join us from his extensive background at Binance to lead growth. With a heavy heart, I fully own this decision to step down. I have always done my best work building from zero to one. Velocity is now at the stage where it needs operators who can take it from one to ten, and I trust this team to take it to the next level. It is the right decision for me and for the protocol, to open a new chapter for Velocity. I've been all in on crypto, my whole career since I was 19. Now I will be spending energy on exploring what’s next for me personally. I care about building bridges between Asia and the US, between digital and physical infrastructure, and about bringing what I've learned home to my local community in Southeast Asia. I will actively continue to champion Velocity, and the founders and teams I’m backing. To our users and partners: thank you so much for the trust. I know the Velocity team is genuinely giving the relaunch all they have. To our investors: thank you for all your guidance and support all these years. To our team: thank you for everything. I couldn't have imagined doing this with anyone else.

"If you discovered all this in a suitcase, wouldn't you be this happy?" That's what Customs and Border Protection joked after K-9 Maisy sniffed out a suitcase arriving from Thailand packed with nearly 100 pounds of prohibited meat, plants and wildlife products. Officers say the luggage was stuffed with raw meat, mangoes, garlic, bamboo, banana plants and even a Bengal monitor lizard — a large, powerful reptile native to South and Southeast Asia that can grow more than five feet long. The lizard was turned over to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Officials say agriculture detector dogs like Maisy help stop invasive pests, animal diseases and illegal wildlife from entering the U.S.
