On Wealth Tracker, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Lu Ming Pang, Senior Analyst, Gas & LNG Research, Rystad Energy, to find out more.

Wealth Tracker: Are LNG Markets still a smart bet for investors?

Crypto is no longer just a niche play. Asia’s high-net-worth individuals are increasingly allocating real portions of their portfolios to digital assets.

According to Sygnum’s 2025 APAC HNWI Report, nearly half of HNWIs in the region now dedicate more than 10% of their wealth to crypto, viewing it as a tool for long-term preservation and legacy planning rather than pure speculation.

What’s driving this bullish sentiment? And how will crypto shape private wealth strategies in 2026?

On Wealth Tracker, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Jason French, Executive Director at Sygnum Bank, to break down the trends, the opportunities, and what this shift means for the future of wealth in Asia.

Wealth Tracker: Why are Asia’s wealthy going all in on crypto?

TikTok’s future in the US has been hanging by a thread, caught between national security concerns, political battles, and calls for divestment. Now, ByteDance has unveiled a plan: a US-based joint venture with American and global investors, keeping only a minority stake for itself. Oracle will oversee data security, and TikTok says the new structure will operate independently.

But does this deal really address the underlying security and governance concerns? Can TikTok stay under US oversight without compromise and what does it mean for the millions of Americans using the app every day?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Cedomir Nestorovic, Professor of Geopolitics at ESSEC Business School, Asia-Pacific, to find out what this deal could mean for TikTok, its users, and the broader US-China tech landscape.

Singapore shares inched higher today to track gains seen across Asia. 

The Straits Times Index was up 0.15% at 4,577.44 points at 3.11pm Singapore time, with a value turnover of S$749.75M seen in the broader market.

In terms of counters to watch for today, we have Stoneweg Europe Stapled Trust. 

That’s after the managers of Stoneweg Europe Stapled Trust said it has entered into an agreement to divest a non-core office property in Italy for a consideration of 34 million euros (S$51.4 million).

Elsewhere, from how the Bank of Japan hiked interest rates to a 30-year high of 0.75 per cent, to how US President Donald Trump’s administration has reportedly launched a review that could result in the first shipments to China of Nvidia’s second-most powerful AI chips, more international headlines remained in focus.

On Market View, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian unpacked the developments with Kenneth Goh, Director, Private Wealth Management, UOB Kay Hian.
