Can you believe it? We're at the end of July, and what an exciting month it's been! 🤗
The crypto market has been soaring... 📈 the total market cap nears $4 trillion, $BTC has been hovering near all-time highs, and $ETH eyes the $4,000 mark. 👀
Bullish sentiments aside, this rally really feels different: institutional adoption (ETFs, corporate reserves) and clearer regulations (like the GENIUS Act and Hong Kong's Stablecoin Ordinance) are fueling steadier growth. 🚀
Part 3 of our Stablecoin Series is LIVE! 🚀In our latest writeup, we dive into Asia and Hong Kong's progression and responses following the U.S. GENIUS Act.
Here’s the TL;DR ⬇️⬇️
A global recap on recent developments: 🌎 The U.S. GENIUS Act which has been making waves mandates a 1:1 USD-backed reserves, sparking the start of a regulatory race worldwide.
Stablecoins now dominate a staggering $250B market, but concerns still linger, which we've also covered in Part 1 & 2 of our series. 🤯
Let's look at Hong Kong's strategic response: ➡️ Mirroring the GENIUS Act's core principles, HK's Stablecoins Ordinance (launches Aug 1, 2025) is simlar but adds multi-currency pegs (HKD, RMB, USD).
➡️ Big players like Standard Chartered & Ant Financial are testing HKD/RMB stablecoins in HKMA’s sandbox, which in turn is also boosting institutional trust.
But what's next for the stablecoins sector?🔮
Stablecoins are reshaping finance, but success hinges on managing risks while innovating. Will Asia’s frameworks outpace the West in the long run?
Forget clunky AI Agents, Model Context Protocol (MCP) is the universal remote for AI, connecting apps, automating tasks, and making life easier... best of all, no tech skills are fully required! 🌐
Which makes AI even more accessible to regular folks. 😉
🔥 Why does MCP Stand Out? Let's break it down. ⬇️
1⃣ Seamless Automation: Book flights, manage schedules, or shop... all via simple AI commands.🛒 2⃣ Tapping into the power of Open-Source: Built by Anthropic (ex-OpenAI), MCP lets developers create smarter tools for everyone. 🛠️
3⃣ Are you worried of the risks? Stay Alert! Data privacy is key, always use trusted platforms, check permissions, and follow us for more security reminders and tips. 🔒
💡 What about Real-World use cases, you ask? 🌎 Here are a few examples! - Let's say you're a busy parent, you can let MCP plan your week, from emails clients, ordering groceries etc, a lot of your day-to-day task can be easily simplified. 🏡⏰ - Companies like Microsoft & MindsDB are already using MCP for business AI and data tools. 📊
We know it's a lot, so we've compiled all the 'must-knows' of MPC in the growing AI space for you. 😉
Do you think MCP is the next wave of the AI frontier? 🤖

Hi fam! 👋
Earlier this month, we've posted Part One of our Stablecoins series, and today we'll be diving into Part Two. 😎
In Part Two, we'll be going deeper into the world of stablecoins and their evolving role in the digital assets space. 🌎 Here are a few key areas we'll be covering:
➡️ Why Stablecoins Matter: Of course, stablecoins are the bridge between traditional finance and crypto, offering stability in volatile markets while enabling seamless transactions. ✅
➡️ Regulation & Transparency: With growing adoption, regulators are definitely paying close attention! We'll be looking at the need for clear frameworks to ensure trust and security, without hindering innovation. 🌐
➡️ Innovation & Use Cases: From cross-border payments to DeFi integrations, we'll be analysing how stablecoins are unlocking new possibilities in finance! 🪙
➡️ Risks & Challenges: Not all stablecoins are created equal, everyone should have a basic understanding of why collateralization and issuer credibility are crucial in the space. 🔒
Stablecoins now handle a mind-blowing $6.3T monthly, rivaling the likes of payment giants like Visa! 🔥
It's been a hot minute since we last covered the stablecoin space, but it's always been on our radar. ✅ With the GENIUS Act advancing, the U.S. seems to be taking strides in regulating the sector, but will it favor centralized giants over DeFi innovation? 🌐
The bottom line is while evolving regulations is positive for the space as it means stability is growing, innovation may pay the price. 💡
The question remains: Will the future of stablecoins be open & #decentralized or potentially controlled by a few? 🤔
May has been pretty positive in general for the #crypto with the Fear & Green index finally turning green again! 🟢 But even though the vibes have been bullish, investors also remain cautiously optimistic, with the market being slightly down today. 📉
We've covered quite a few points in our latest community update, such as:
➡️ Increased institutional demand in $BTC, with existing players like Saylor's Strategy and Metaplanet stacking more Bitcoin, alongisde newer ones such as GameStop and Remixpoint adding BTC to their balance sheet. ➡️ Coverage of notable #AI and #tech events in #HongKong. ➡️ Community activities and a glimpse into some of our coming plans. 🤖
The piece will be a useful summary for those of you who haven't been keeping close tabs in May. 😊
Which of the #technologies mentioned are you most excited about? 😉 🤖 Robotics ✅ 🖥️ No Code AI / Vibe Coding ✅ 🧠 Neuralink ✅ 🌐 Blockchain ✅

Recently, we had the pleasure of meeting one of the community leaders from the Atomicals Foundation at Wiki Finance Expo in Hong Kong. 😎
Our previous writeup highlighting the Atomicals Protocol had a lot of interest from our community and we thought - why not host a fun Q&A session with the Atomicals community so you get all the deets straight from them? 😉
If you have other questions for the Atomicals Protocol community, feel free to leave a comment too 🫶 maybe community members from their side will respond to your question! 🥳
As you guys know, we've been observing the DeFAI space lately - it's been a hot topic of discussion at the Hong Kong Web3 festival, we even attended a Blockchain x AI event earlier this week! 🤖
The rise of companies like DeepSeek and ManusAI has been nothing short of impressive, driving growth alongside other #AI superstars like OpenAI and Gemini. ⚡️ For X users, Grok has also been a solid addition to the space. 🚀
But the question remains: Are there positive synergies between blockchain and AI? 🤝
It's been a wild ride jam packed with ups and downs in the digital assets ecosystem. 🎢
While the crypto markets has been taking a beating recently, elsewhere in AI innovations a lot of projects like Manus AI and ChatGPT 4 has been making amazing strides and going viral! 🚀
The Winners list from our latest campaign is also released 🔥 Take a look at the blog post and if you're one of the winners, reach out to us on X or TG!

Let's talk about one of the current hottest projects in town today - SUI, which has been garnering a lot of buzz lately, especially since Trump's World Liberty Financial's anouncement of including SUI in their strategic token reserve. 🔥
While there's been talk that SUI is set to be the next Solana, we're here to dissect latest developments in the ecosystem and look at things from an objective POV. 🌐
Is Sui poised to be the next huge blockchain ecosystem OR is it mostly hype? 🧐
Wow, there's been tons of updates and movements in the space recently! 🤯
Especially in the United States - last week was certainly a rollercoaster ride, with Trump's team pitching a "made in US" Blockchain project and subsequent signing of a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve, just hours before the highly-anticipated White House crypto party.
While the market and BTC's response has so far been underwhelming, are YOU bullish or bearish for the crypto space in the long run? 🔥 Let's discuss in this thread! ⬇️

Hey fam!
Has the recent market downturn got you feeling a bit blue? 🩵 As we recap the month of February, we think there's been quite a number of positive events and developments that went on in the crypto ecosystem too! 🌐
TLDR: ➡️ We've posted tons about #ConsensusHK which was an amazing event bringing folks in crypto together from all across the globe. 🌎 ➡️ There were quite a few significant regulatory wins for the space this month! 👏 ➡️ While the #Bybit hack was damaging and chaotic, it was also a great display of crisis communication efforts from the Bybit leaders and team so far. 🫶
Here's to a hopefully good month of March ahead for the space! 🤞

One of the key narratives in crypto and tech that is still dominating conversations in the industry in 2025 is the convergence of Artificial Intelligence and crypto. 🤝 We're keeping a close eye on developments in this space and have recently attended events such as the AWS re:Invent Business re:Cap to get a more intimate look at the growing ecosystem. 🌏
With a rapidly growing market cap spurned by innovative projects with real-world utility, the crypto X AI space is certainly on an uptrend, with potential to reshape the Web3 ecosystem. 📈 Moreover, there has been a growing interest in AI Agents, which are unlike conventional AI Models - AI Agents are dynamic systems capable of interacting, transacting and executing tasks for its user, which could simplify Web3 processes significantly for newcomers in the space. ✅
Does the intersection of AI and crypto have what it takes to drive the next wave of mainstream adoption, hype and growth? 🙂 Read the link for key points and let us know your thoughts in the thread. ⬇️
