Back in 2020, during a famous speech at the Bund in Shanghai, Jack Ma made a bold prediction: "Digital Money may redefine currency, just as the iPhone redefined the phone, where calling is just one function." At that time, this statement was seen as a challenge to the TradFi system, indirectly triggering a series of regulatory storms that led to the abrupt halt of Ant Group's record IPO.
However, the course of history is always full of drama. Nearly five years later, Jack Ma's prophecy seems to be accelerating towards reality in an unexpected way. Ant Group, founded by Jack Ma, is actively seeking to apply for stablecoin issuer licenses in multiple key financial centers around the world, including Hong Kong, Singapore, and even Luxembourg in Europe.

Once upon a time, Singapore, with its open and prudent financial policy, was praised by global Web3 entrepreneurs as a "crypto haven" in Asia and even the world. However, a sudden regulatory storm is completely rewriting this situation. On May 30, 2025, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) officially released new regulations for digital token service providers (DTSPs), requiring all cryptocurrency companies operating in Singapore without obtaining a compliance license to fully stop operations or withdraw by June 30, otherwise they will face criminal penalties.
This almost immediate and hardline measure is seen by the industry as a comprehensive expulsion of potential "scalpers" (referring to projects that exploit regulatory gray areas for fraud or speculation). When Singapore resolutely closes its doors, a question arises: where will those expelled crypto assets and talents go? The answer seems clear.

In the last days of May 2025, Tesla founder and tech magnate Elon Musk made a brief "cameo" in American politics. He officially announced the end of his tenure as a distinguished government employee with the U.S. Government Efficiency Department (DOGE). Although U.S. President Donald Trump stressed at the White House that Musk "hasn't really left" and will continue to be a "friend and adviser", Musk himself admitted that pushing for reforms in government is much more difficult than he initially thought. This series of events, coupled with Musk's previous public criticism of some of the Trump administration's policies, has triggered a lot of speculation about whether the "brotherhood" between the two has changed and Musk's future political influence.
