The Asian Tigers: Are They Still Roaring?
summary
Panelists argue the concrete shifts: Hong Kong and Singapore push security token and stablecoin infrastructure while mainland China drives protocol R&D and patents at 40–43% of global blockchain filings. A Filipino remittance startup cuts fees from 5–15% to 3% and handles about $300M/month in flows, showing tokenized remittance traction. Regulators favor sandboxes and Singapore’s payment services bill and an iSTOX security‑token launch promise licensing clarity; Cosmos is live and Polkadot is due soon, testing whether builders deliver real products.
