To everyone needing to travel to be with their families this evening, be safe out there. Heavy rains. 🌕🐇

Today at LIDAC 2026, we signed an Intent to Collaborate (ItC) with @LunoGlobal and Kenanga Investors Berhad to explore UMYR, a Ringgit-pegged stablecoin issued by Luno Malaysia as an on-chain settlement instrument for tokenised money market funds. As Malaysia’s early adopter of fund tokenisation, we often question how we can make institutional-scale financial settlements faster, yet highly secure. Tokenised fund products already exist in Malaysia's market today. The next step would be an institutionally focused settlement layer under the Securities Commission Malaysia’s regulatory framework. With this, we’ll look at how UMYR can be used to settle fund subscriptions and redemptions, as a step toward advancing Malaysia’s capital markets on-chain. We are proud to take this step forward, alongside Luno Malaysia and Kenanga Investors Berhad.

We officially kicked off #LIDACKL today, and what a morning. Our @LunoGlobal Malaysia Country Manager, Scarlett Chai, opened the day, setting the tone for a packed programme of conversations on the future of digital assets. A key moment came with the signing of our Intent to Collaborate alongside Kenanga and @HalogenCapital, bringing three teams together around a shared vision for the industry’s next chapter. Our CEO, James Lanigan, then closed out the morning session with a keynote exploring the institutional shift taking place across digital assets. Not hype. Just a closer look at where the industry stands today, and where it’s heading next.

🇲🇾 Every treasury has three jobs for its cash reserve: Liquidity, obligations, and buffer. So, where does the idle cash go in the meantime? At Halogen Capital, we understand every treasury decision is deliberate, and we're here to help.

Last week, Malaysia's 10-year government bond yield spiked to a 2-year high. Our Executive Director, @FuadKyoto, breaks down what this means for your fixed income investments.

🇲🇾 63 years ago, Malaysia was formed. As our founding father once said, nation-building has never been an easy journey. Today, Malaysia has grown from a young, developing nation into one of Asia's most diverse economies. This all came from the spirit of resilience and togetherness, carried by generations of Malaysians. At Halogen Capital, we carry that same spirit of building together, and we are proud to be made by Malaysians, in Malaysia. Selamat Hari Malaysia!

Why did BTC jump from $62,000 to $80,000 in August 2026? BTC surged around 25% in a single month, largely on the back of the US Treasury doubling, and then tripling its bond buyback programme. Naturally, many investors are asking: Is this rally durable, or just a reactionary bounce that fades once the Treasury steps back? Here’s the bigger picture: - The tripled Treasury buyback was to stabilise a rising, shaky US debt market. - Currency debasement fear comes next. The markets worry that rising debt is managed by printing money and diluting the currency's value. In this environment, BTC's fixed supply of 21 million is one reason institutions treat it as a debasement hedge. August saw $3.52 billion of net inflows into BTC exchange-traded funds, the largest monthly figure year-to-date. Today, publicly traded and private companies, ETFs and countries hold 3.9 million BTC. That’s 18% of the total BTC supply. More about our thoughts on @BFMradio: bit.ly/46ovLKR

🇲🇾 Selamat Hari Kebangsaan ke-69, Malaysia! National Day is more than just remembering independence. It is also a celebration of how far Malaysia has come. This year, let's look at how much Malaysia's financial landscape has grown.

We’d like to extend our warmest congratulations to @CIMBMalaysia on the launch of CIMB’s Tokenised Sukuk and Tokenised Deposit Pilot Issuance. Following the launch, we are excited to share that Halogen Capital is taking the first bite of CIMB’s tokenised sukuk! By allocating a portion of Halogen Shariah Ringgit Income Fund’s existing sukuk portfolio into CIMB’s tokenised form, investors can now get exposure to Malaysia's first bank-issued tokenised sukuk. Here’s why Halogen Capital is uniquely positioned to be a pioneering investor in CIMB's maiden tokenised sukuk issuance: - We are the first licensed fund manager in Malaysia with funds approved by @SecComMalaysia to natively hold digital assets in custody with a Trustee since 2023. - With 3+ years of track record in sukuk portfolio management through the Halogen Shariah Ringgit Income Fund, we have proven deep expertise in managing sukuk as an asset class.

At #LIDAC26 KL, we're bringing together experts from the @SecComMalaysia, Amanie Advisors, and @shariahlife to share screening methodologies, certification processes, and practical case studies from certified crypto funds and tokenised sukuk to programmable Islamic finance on blockchain rails.

With over RM 450 million in assets under management, we have spent years bringing institutional-grade digital asset investment solutions to both individuals and institutions. Today, we are extending that reach through advisers with the launch of Halogen Partner Portfolios. With Halogen Partner Portfolios, licensed financial advisers, Corporate Unit Trust Advisers (CUTAs) and appointed Marketing Representatives (MRs) can: - Design or offer access to multi-asset strategies (e.g. bonds, equities and digital assets) tailored to different risk profiles. - Support clients onboarding and facilitate portfolio access via the Halogen ecosystem, keeping the investment experience fully digital and accessible for investors throughout. - Set custom fee structures per portfolio and access reporting through the platform. Throughout, portfolios are managed at the discretion of Halogen Capital’s fund management team, with algorithmic rebalancing carried out under our Digital Investment Management (DIM) license. The result? Advisers and appointed MRs get to spend more time managing client relationships, while we handle the operational side of managing and rebalancing portfolios. Thank you to @theedgemalaysia for the coverage!

The line between traditional securities and blockchain infrastructure is getting thinner by the day. At #LIDAC KL, we will examine the practical realities of tokenising securities and real-world assets across Malaysia and the region.

Recently, a firmware flaw in Coldcard hardware wallets allowed attackers to compromise roughly 7,300 addresses, resulting in an estimated RM530 million in losses as of 5 August 2026. This incident poses a valid question among investors: Is there a safer way to hold BTC? Our Founder and CEO, @ooihann shares his thoughts.

“Digital asset regulation in Malaysia has outpaced institutional investors.” This was raised by our Executive Director, @FuadKyoto, at the recent @MalaysiaBCW 2026 with Jonathan Chee (@ccacc_hub), Harry Hwang (FLOWRA), and Daniel Lee (@CactusCustody). Malaysia has regulated digital assets since 2019, under the @SecComMalaysia's capital markets framework. What’s been missing are the tools institutions need to act on it. At Halogen Capital, we have been building those tools since 2023. Our digital asset funds address the two things that used to hold digital asset allocation back: - Institutional-grade digital asset custody, once novel, now tried and tested. - Solutions that fit existing institutional policies and procedures, with track record and best-in-class liquidity. Now, Malaysian institutional investors can move from consideration to allocation with confidence.
