BAS joins ASEAN in blockchain consortium with Australia

The ASEAN member states have signed an agreement to strengthen blockchain cooperation.

The Blockchain Association Singapore (BAS) and five other blockchain organisations have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to form the ASEAN Blockchain Consortium.

The consortium is intended to strengthen cross-border relationships in promoting blockchain technology.

The signatories include Asosiasi Blockchain Indonesia, Distributed Ledger Technology Association of the Philippines, Labuan International Business and Financial Centre, Thailand Digital Asset Operators Trade Association and Blockchain Australia.

The agreement will also drive blockchain education and exchange of knowledge on digital assets development.

“The growth in the digital assets and blockchain industry is tremendous and BAS is proud to collaborate with our ASEAN and Australia counterparts to further support the growth of the industry in a healthy and sustainable pace, while providing ample room for innovation,” BAS Co-chairman Chia Hock Lai said.

BAS has been taking steps to engage stakeholders in the industry and promote education programs, such as the Blockchain Talent Programme with Singapore Polytechnic.

BAS has also joined Elliptic Singapore and Global FinTech Institute in developing a digital assets compliance training programme, which will be launched in the third quarter of the year. This is aimed at raising the professional competency in handling digital assets.

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

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.
