Stablecoins are no longer just a niche corner of the crypto world; they’re increasingly shaping the future of money. With issuance projected to reach $1.9 trillion by 2030 and potentially $4 trillion in a bull-case scenario, these digital assets are moving beyond crypto trading into e-commerce, cross-border payments, and household use.

Could early movers in stablecoins and DeFi platforms see outsized returns, or will regulatory and technological hurdles limit their potential? How should investors navigate a landscape where bank tokens, tokenized deposits, and other digital alternatives compete for attention?

On Wealth Tracker, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Michael Ho, Partner, Financial Services, Oliver Wyman, to find out what the stablecoin boom means for the future of finance.

Singapore’s property market has always been competitive, but a recent investigation by The Straits Times has uncovered a worrying trend.

Some agents are using 'bait-style' listings to attract buyers with prices that seem too good to be true, and often, they really are. From eye-catching show-flat photos to promises of 'direct-from-developer' deals, these listings can mislead buyers and distort the market.

So how common are these 'too good to be true' listings? What happens when a property advertised as a bargain turns out to be misleading? And are there warning signs buyers should watch out for?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Joyce Lim, Senior Correspondent at The Straits Times, to find out more.

Is pickleball already old news? On What’s Trending, Hongbin Jeong and Nadiah Koh look at whether TYPTI — a new racquet sport dubbed the “snowboarding of the racquet world” — could be the next big hype. Backed by celebrities and pro athletes, TYPTI promises longer rallies, more spin, less noise, and a fresh alternative for players who find pickleball too simple or too loud. 

They also dive into the world of Lego. First, the hype: Lego Crocs are here — yes, real, yes, $300 — combining childhood nostalgia with fashion-forward clogs. But it’s not all glitz. They also share the inspiring story of an 85-year-old grandmother from China who discovered Lego for the first time while recovering from a hand injury in Canada. Brick by brick, she built massive sets like Hogwarts Castle, proving that play can be transformative at any age.
