AI meets blockchain in Singapore’s bold new bid to replace chaos with compliance and turn Web3 into a regulated global economy.
At Shanghai International Blockchain Week 2025, Singapore officially introduced BLOOM — a new framework designed to build a borderless, AI-driven Web3 financial system.
The initiative, led by Professor Li Guoquan, marks a philosophical and practical pivot for global digital finance: away from fragmented crypto chaos, toward compliant, scalable, and inclusive financial ecosystems.
“BLOOM aims to reshape global Web3 trust systems through stablecoin legislation, compliance frameworks, and institutional collaboration,” Guoquan said. “It replaces chaotic innovation with meticulous governance.”
Singapore’s BLOOM isn’t another blockchain project — it’s financial infrastructure for the next era of trust.
1. Tokenized Stablecoins: Supporting secure and regulator-approved cross-border payments, built for compliance and settlement transparency.
2. Regulatory Innovation: Developing frameworks that allow banks, fintechs, and DeFi protocols to collaborate under clear legal guardrails.
3. AI + Blockchain Integration: Using machine intelligence to enhance inclusivity, automate risk assessment, and strengthen fraud detection in digital markets.
This trifecta aims to rebuild global finance — not from ideology, but from architecture.
For years, the Web3 economy has thrived on creative anarchy — fast, open, and often unregulated. BLOOM represents the next evolutionary step: structured decentralization.
By integrating AI-driven compliance tools and programmable finance, BLOOM establishes a trust layer between innovation and regulation.
Its ultimate goal:
Singapore is effectively writing the constitution of Web3 finance, where code meets compliance.
The BLOOM initiative positions Singapore as the regulatory counterbalance to Hong Kong — both now standing as Asia’s dual pillars of financial modernization.
While Hong Kong focuses on market access and crypto capital, Singapore is building the infrastructure of legitimacy — the rails, not the train.
This approach has drawn praise from global analysts who see BLOOM as a blueprint for merging traditional finance with decentralized technology, setting new international benchmarks.
Ethereum and other smart contract platforms are expected to anchor much of BLOOM’s digital backbone.
All could integrate seamlessly into BLOOM’s regulated framework, reinforcing security, scalability, and transparency.
If successful, Singapore’s model could redefine how AI-enhanced blockchain systems interact with legacy banking — creating a global trust network where compliance and decentralization coexist.
Singapore’s BLOOM is more than a policy initiative — it’s a philosophy shift. The era of speculative innovation is fading; the era of regulated intelligence is beginning.
By aligning AI, blockchain, and compliance, Singapore isn’t just keeping up — it’s setting the rules for a borderless, data-driven, and trustworthy financial world.
“BLOOM will transform global Web3 trust systems, replacing chaotic innovation with meticulous governance,” Guoquan said.
If that vision holds, Singapore may soon become the capital of regulated Web3 finance.
