Last week, the @SecComMalaysia (SC) launched the Capital Market Masterplan 2026 - 2030 (CMP), with digital assets named as a key growth area. Following the launch, @starbizmy spoke to our Founder and CEO, @ooihann, on what it will actually take to grow crypto as an asset class in Malaysia. More approved digital assets are a step in the right direction, but that alone won't move the needle. The three shifts that would: ✅ A framework for @BursaMalaysia to offer Digital Assets ✅ Clear regulatory guidelines on USD stablecoins ✅ Introduction of Digital Asset Derivatives (futures and options) Thank you, @starbizmy (@staronline), for the feature!

Q&A with @FuadKyoto: Why did @BNM_official maintain the OPR at 2.75% with the rise in oil prices? In uncertain times, cash preservation and balancing risks matter more than ever. The Halogen Shariah Ringgit Income Fund combines the best of both worlds in one simple fund. It’s designed to generate a targeted yield of up to 3.70% p.a*., while offering T+1 liquidity and tax exempt returns.

Q&A with @ooihann: Beyond the 6.15% dividend, what is the bigger story from @KWSPMalaysia's recent announcement that Malaysians missed out on? And what if EPF has a small allocation in BTC?

“Should I be worried, or is this part of the cycle?” It’s a fair question after last week’s moves. BTC fell from around USD 80,000 to briefly test USD 60,000 before recovering to trade back in the USD 70,000 range. Yet this was not only a digital assets-only event. Equities, precious metals and digital assets all moved lower together. The common thread was leverage colliding with tighter liquidity, as hawkish signals and policy uncertainty triggered systematic deleveraging. In the near term, patience and discipline remain essential. Expect choppy trading conditions, fragile sentiment, and uneven recoveries rather than a swift rebound. 🔗 Learn more about our funds here: bit.ly/4amFS4w 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘦𝘸𝘦𝘥 𝘣𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘦𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘔𝘢𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘴𝘪𝘢.

How much BTC makes sense for a portfolio? A percentage that is enough for growth yet still risk-managed? Unlike stocks or bonds, BTC has its own adoption curve due to its decentralised nature. This has, at times, resulted in lower correlation with traditional asset classes, allowing it to behave as an independent return driver across market cycles. From a portfolio construction perspective, an allocation of 2% to 10% to BTC can strike a balance. Within that range, portfolio allocation is never one-size-fits-all, as the appropriate level of exposure ultimately depends on your risk appetite, investment horizon, and overall objectives as an investor.
