Singapore Launches BLOOM Initiative for Web3 Financial Infrastructure

Li Guoquan delivered a keynote at the 2025 Shanghai Blockchain Week on Singapore’s “BLOOM” initiative by MAS, fostering a borderless Web3 financial infrastructure via AI and blockchain.

BLOOM emphasizes regulatory innovation, aiming to reshape global Web3 trust through stablecoins and cross-border solutions, impacting market dynamics with Singapore and Hong Kong’s complementary roles.

Singapore’s BLOOM: A New Dawn for Global Web3 Finance

The Monetary Authority of Singapore introduced the BLOOM initiative at the Shanghai International Blockchain Week 2025. This project prioritizes borderless financial infrastructure, leveraging AI and blockchain. Professor Li Guoquan highlighted its potential to reshape the global Web3 landscape with robust compliance frameworks.

The BLOOM initiative marks a shift from chaotic innovation toward regulated financial ecosystems. It introduces tokenized stablecoins, transforming cross-border payments. Interested parties, especially financial institutions, recognize this effort as pivotal in achieving financial inclusivity through AI and blockchain.

Industry experts, including Li Guoquan, distinguish BLOOM as strategic for regulatory support. “The BLOOM initiative aims to reshape global Web3 trust systems through stablecoin legislation, compliance frameworks, and institutional collaboration, replacing chaotic innovation with meticulous governance,” noted Guoquan. Market reactions are notably optimistic, especially in financial sectors eager for streamlined global commerce.

Ethereum’s Role and Financial Implications in Singapore’s BLOOM

Did you know? Ethereum was chosen as the infrastructure backbone for Singapore’s financial ecosystems, reflecting its history of compliance and stability.

According to CoinMarketCap, Ethereum (ETH) stands at $3,832.93 with a market cap of $462.63 billion. Despite a recent 0.78% dip over 24 hours, Ethereum maintains a 12.65% market dominance. Volatility persisted, with a 5.68% rise over 90 days and a 19.5% drop over 60 days.

Coincu research suggests Singapore’s approach could lead to increased adoption of AI in finance. This strategic alignment may stimulate greater international collaboration, enhancing regulatory mechanisms. The initiative sets an example of how technology and traditional financial frameworks can coalesce for inclusive and secure economic systems.
