Remember STOs? @dbsbank the largest bank in Southeast Asia (650 million people) accidentally announced their Digital Exchange and STO platform. STOs will be able to attract even more capital than ICOs. What’s the real addressable market size for STOs for #DBS?

Debt: A regional liquidity crunch is key
❎~95% of companies don't have access to capital markets
❎ Banks are taking huge spreads so cost of debt is unaffordable (if you can get debt at all)
The Philippines and Indonesia has a debt shortfall of $2.4 tn alone.

Equity: the @SGX saw more delistings than listings this year. The IPO market simply may no longer be suitable for most companies. Assuming Southeast Asia has the same funding requirements as India (even lower GDP p.c.) then the STO Equity market could be >$500bn

✅ Malaysia created new regulations for Initial Exchange Offering operators

@dbsbank understands the future of capital markets.. Might a blend of traditional financial instruments, regulatory clarity, and support from one of Asia’s most prominent banks FINALLY catalyze a change? 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
