Daily Briefing: BitCoin blockchain warned for possible criminal threat; Singaporean startup behind Amazon Prime Now logistics

Singapore's largest private dental care group bought back their own shares.

From PropertyGuru: FundPlaces launched, three weeks ago, its real estate-backed cryptocurrency – Tiles, with each token entitling the investor to the cashflow of the underlying property investment which it references. While FundPlaces uses the company’s own private blockchain platform, Reidao utilises the public Ethereum blockchain, which uses the gold-backed token called DGX.

Interestingly, one of its clients is honestbee, a startup that people think will be the most directly impacted by the launch of Amazon Prime Now. RIVERWOOD offers all sorts of products — from retail logistics to freight solutions, industrial options and even help with moving.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
