It’s 2026, and the digital asset landscape has moved far beyond the speculative hype of the past. Institutional investors are now fully engaged, tokenised assets are no longer experiments, and regulatory frameworks are shaping the market’s next phase of growth.

For investors, the question is no longer whether digital assets belong in a portfolio, but how.

On Wealth Tracker, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Gracie Lin, CEO of OKX Singapore, to explore the evolution of digital assets, their role in modern wealth strategies, and what the trends of 2026 mean for investors navigating this rapidly maturing market.

Wealth Tracker: Is 2026 the year digital assets go mainstream or bust?

Singapore’s healthcare landscape is shifting.

Private insurance is tightening: starting April, new Integrated Shield Plan riders will no longer fully cover deductibles, and co-payment caps are set to double to at least $6,000 a year. At the same time, Parliament has passed a law requiring all healthcare providers to share patients’ key medical data through the National Electronic Health Record.

What does this mean for Singaporeans? Will hospital visits take longer, or could care actually become more efficient? And with more data sharing than ever before, how will your personal health information be safeguarded?

On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks with Dr Akshar Saxena, Assistant Professor of Economics at Nanyang Technological University, to unpack these changes and what they mean for everyday healthcare access.

On What’s Trending, Hongbin Jeong, Nadiah Koh and Alexandra Parada share trending stories from insuring love to outsourcing emotional support and finding comfort in a crying toy. We began with a viral tale from China where a woman cashed out a decade-old “love insurance” policy after marrying her long-term partner, sparking debate over whether romance can, or should, be insured.

We then looked at the rise of paid “instant reply providers”, strangers who earn money simply by responding immediately to people who need to vent, revealing how attention and emotional validation have become commodities. And finally, we examined how a factory error turned a sad-faced toy horse into an internet sensation, resonating with overworked netizens who saw their own burnout reflected in its teary expression.

Singapore shares inched higher today to track advances seen in the region.

The Straits Times Index was up 0.42% at 4,786.68 points at 1.28pm Singapore time, with a value turnover of S$719.21M seen in the broader market.

In terms of companies to watch, we have Vin’s Holdings. That’s after the car dealer yesterday launched a S$20 million multicurrency commercial paper facility programme to be issued entirely as digital securities on the SDAX Exchange platform. 

Elsewhere, from how the yen dropped to its weakest level against the US dollar since July 2024 following speculation that Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi may soon call a snap election, to how SK Hynix Inc. plans to spend 19 trillion won (S$16.6 billion) building a new advanced chip packaging facility, more international and corporate headlines remain in focus.

Also on deck – more on the “Sell America” trade seen yesterday and whether it can continue to bolster regional stocks in the days to come. 

On Market View, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian unpacked the developments with Nirgunan Tiruchelvam, Head of Consumer & Internet, Aletheia Capital.
