As the Middle East conflict drags on, our CEO and Founder, @ooihann caught up with @starbizmy yesterday to discuss @BNM_official’s OPR cut dilemma. His take: - An OPR cut will only be considered if economic growth decelerates toward the 4% mark. - If high energy prices persist, a rate cut alone will not be sufficient to buffer the economic slowdown, and thus require aggressive fiscal intervention from the government.

Altseason is coming in Q1 2025. Why do we say so? Let’s break down how capital traditionally flows in crypto: Fiat Currency → Bitcoin → Large-cap altcoins → Mid Caps → Low Caps / Memecoins But here’s how things are shifting 👇

“I want to invest…but I am afraid of the volatility.” That’s one of the most common concerns we heard from Malaysians at the recent Invest Fair 2025. But here’s the thing – you don’t need to go all in. Even a 5% allocation can be a smart way to get started. The key is balance - start small, rebalance regularly and invest with discipline – especially if you’re thinking long term.

Bitcoin dips $100K, now at $93K— what’s next? 🔴 If you’re wondering what just happened and what this means for your portfolio, you’re not alone. Here's what's driving the sell-off 👇 (a thread)

As 2024 wraps up, we’re looking back at a year that’s been nothing short of epic at Halogen Capital! Here’s the highlight reel: 🚀 Over RM 150 million in assets under management (AUM) within just one year of operations. 🚀 Launched 3 new wholesale funds: Halogen Shariah Ethereum Fund, Halogen Shariah Crypto Titans Fund, and Halogen Shariah Enhanced Income Fund. 🚀 The Halogen Shariah Bitcoin Fund stole the spotlight with an impressive +115% year-to-date performance in 2024.

"It is a necessary evil for Malaysians’ long-term investment portfolios.” You heard it right — a bold statement straight from the industry experts at the recent Phillip Capital Investment Conference 2025! TL;DR: 1️⃣ It all comes down to your risk appetite – digital assets work best as a portfolio enhancer, not something to go all in on, especially if you’re just starting out. 2️⃣ Think long term. Digital assets performs best when held through market cycles, not traded on emotion. 3️⃣ Start safely through regulated and licensed platforms.

Did you know? $TSLA, $MSTR and other global public-listed companies now hold 555,346 BTC, worth nearly $52B (~RM 235 billion)? That’s almost 2.8% of Bitcoin’s total supply, spread across 32 companies. Here’s a look at the key players leading the charge 👇

Good morning. Bitcoin remains steady above $100K, while BlackRock calls a 1–2% Bitcoin allocation a “reasonable range” for multi-asset portfolios. Meanwhile, the final US Fed meeting of 2024 looms.

“Buy low, sell high.” It’s the simplest, yet most essential rule to investing and trading above all else. But simple doesn’t mean easy, and executing it isn’t always straightforward.

At Halogen Capital, our Trading Team combines on-chain data, sentiment analysis, and market insights with a wealth of trading experience to spot opportunities and trade with precision – reducing costs and helping investors capture the best of both worlds.

AI and Tokenisation. 2 central themes spotlighted at the SCxSC Fintech Summit 2024 by the @SecComMalaysia 🇲🇾 This week, the Securities Commission Malaysia introduced 3 key initiatives to drive innovation in Malaysia's capital markets: ✏️ A regulatory sandbox framework: A controlled environment for testing new financial products. ✏️ Tokenisation of securities: Enhanced regulations to facilitate the digitalisation of traditional assets like stocks and bonds. ✏️ Collaboration with Khazanah Nasional Berhad: To explore the issuance of tokenised bonds, with a focus on smart contracts and custodial arrangements. What does this mean?

And Bitcoin breaks the $90,000 mark! 🚀 A significant moment for BTC showing that the market optimism post-Trump’s election win shows no signs of easing. Here’s why it happened: -Trump has vowed to end the US government’s crypto crackdown and ease restrictions – a move that could be the catalyst for major growth in the industry. -He has also promised to build a national Bitcoin stockpile, which if this were to happen, Bitcoin would be seen as a global financial asset, leading to greater integration in the financial system. 🟢 Year to date, Bitcoin has increased 112% so far.

Crypto Market Down? One Thing Never to Do – Panic! 🔴 When the market crashes and your portfolio takes a hit and your portfolio value decreases significantly, it’s tempting to consider exiting. Totally understandable, but probably not the best move. To catch you up, here’s why Bitcoin dipped below $50,000: 1️⃣ US economic and jobs data sparked recession fears. 2️⃣ Rising tensions in the Middle East. 3️⃣ Japan raised interest rates by 0.25% last week, boosting the yen's appeal against the USD, causing trades to unwind. Bitcoin has since bounced back to $56,000 and is up 32.24% year to date 🟢 Remember, market declines are temporary. Think long-term and avoid panic selling when crypto prices are low.

Will we be using BTC or ETH to pay for coffee in the next 5 years? Probably not, but an MYR stablecoin? That's a possibility 🇲🇾 In Bank Negara Malaysia's Financial Sector Blueprint 2022 - 2026: - No immediate plans to launch a Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC). - However, BNM acknowledges the importance of proactively building understanding of CBDCs. And in a recent statement from February 2024, BNM announced it will intensify research and experimentation on CBDC usage for Malaysia’s monetary and financial infrastructures, with an initial focus on wholesale CBDC. As part of this effort, BNM has actually launched a Proof of Concept (POC) to explore the potential of a wholesale CBDC, in collaboration with: 🇨🇭BIS Innovation Hub. 🇦🇺Reserve Bank of Australia. 🇸🇬 Monetary Authority of Singapore. 🇿🇦 South African Reserve Bank. Although a launch plan isn't imminent, their actions indicate they're leaving room for potential advancements. -- A big thank you to @ETHKL1 for having us!

𝐇𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐧 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐅𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐔𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞 (𝐌𝐚𝐲 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒) 🔵 Halogen Shariah Bitcoin Fund - Monthly Performance: +7.53% - Gains Since Inception: +148.58% ⭐️ The Fund’s May performance was driven by the recovery in spot BTC prices for the month after a down month in April following the halving, closing at $67,500 levels as at 31 May 2024.

How does real-world asset (RWA) tokenisation apply to stocks, bonds or funds?

We covered: - A primer on digital assets - How tokenisation is transforming finance and investing - Malaysia’s regulatory progress on digital assets and tokenisation Now, why does this matter to financial leaders? Because tokenisation is set to reshape how financial products can be distributed - impacting everything from cost efficiency to investor accessibility.

Malaysia Blockchain Week 🇲🇾 ➡️ Korea Blockchain Week 🇰🇷 ➡️ TOKEN2049 🇸🇬 Will you be there? @MalaysiaWeek @kbwofficial @token2049

Just yesterday, Bitcoin rebounded to above $100k after President Trump pauses Mexico, Canada tariffs. Today, Bitcoin dips to $98k as China fires back with up to 15% on select US imports 🔴 But why is crypto crashing on the tariffs news? Isn't it supposed to be decentralised by nature? Here’s our take 👇

🎉 We’re excited to announce that our Halogen Shariah Bitcoin Fund has achieved over 100% return since its inception in August 2023, reaching a Fund Price of RM 2.1111 per unit. Bitcoin's price surged by 10% in just two days, reaching over $56,000—the highest level since November 2021. This rally is largely fuelled by institutional interest, particularly in spot Bitcoin ETFs. Given Bitcoin being the reflexive asset, we anticipate that a higher price will attract more ETF inflows, setting the stage for new highs in 2024. The current Bitcoin price action is notably robust, especially as we approach the halving event. We believe this momentum even with the usual dips is likely to continue throughout the year, reinforcing our optimistic outlook. 🔗 For more details on how this Fund can enhance your investment portfolio, please visit: bit.ly/49ybQZO

Good morning ☕️🇲🇾 Key finance & crypto markets highlights in the last 7 days: 🇯🇵 Global markets plunge as ‘Black Monday’ hits Japan 🇲🇾 Ringgit extends hot streak, seen touching 4.40 against US dollar 🔻 Bitcoin tops $60,000, XRP surges 17% as Ripple-SEC case concludes - Year to date: 🟢 Bitcoin: +42.29% 🟢 Ethereum: +14.61% - Our thoughts: 1️⃣ Inflation and retail sales next in focus - Monday’s panic-driven sell-off was more reminiscent of February 2018’s ‘Volmageddon’ event than the 2001 tech bubble meltdown. - Volatility normalization may take longer, with risk appetite and liquidity likely needing another week or so to recover, which could result in more sudden price swings and broader trading ranges. - With increased focus on the U.S. macroeconomic landscape, all eyes will be on this week’s retail sales and July inflation data. -- 2️⃣ Crypto Recovery: Bitcoin, Solana, and XRP - Bitcoin and Solana have reclaimed key support levels at $59,500 and $145, respectively, which will be crucial for those considering re-entry into the market. - In the coming days, expect some degree of correlated returns across various markets and asset classes. - Meanwhile, XRP has delivered uncorrelated returns, the lack of new catalysts from here makes its future performance uncertain. - Week ahead: 🇺🇸 US CPI 🇺🇸 US Retail Sales 🇬🇧 UK GDP 🇲🇾 MY GDP Read more here: blog.halogen.my/bitcoin-tops…

Good morning ☕️🇲🇾 Key finance & crypto markets highlights in the last 7 days: 🇺🇸 US non-farm payrolls expanded by 272,000 for May 🇲🇾 US Treasury rally boosts local bonds; KLCI gains 1.06% and Ringgit strengthens 🔻 Bitcoin dips below $71,000 (RM 332,990) on positive US jobs data - Our thoughts: 🇺🇸 The upcoming CPI print and FOMC meeting are critical, with no immediate Fed action expected despite mixed data. 🇲🇾 The strong US non-farm payroll data is expected to cause a pullback in Malaysian asset markets in Week 24. 🚀 The market remains heavily leveraged, with potential for further leverage flushes and dip-buying opportunities, especially in ETH. - Week ahead: 🇯🇵 Japan GDP 🇲🇾 Malaysia Industrial Production 🇬🇧 UK Employment 🇺🇸 US CPI 🇺🇸 FOMC Rate Decision - Read more of our thoughts here: blog.halogen.my/bitcoin-dips…

Good morning ☕️🇲🇾 Key finance & crypto markets highlights in the last 7 days: 🇺🇸 Fed slashes interest rates by a 50 basis points 🇲🇾 The Ringgit continues to strengthen against the USD, closing the week at 4.2037 🚀 Bitcoin broke $62,000 after US Fed 0.5% rate cut - Year to date: 🟢 Bitcoin: +49.00% 🟢 Ethereum: +13.13% - Halogen Insights: 1️⃣ September Usually Hits U.S. Stocks Hard — But Not This Year? - Last Thursday’s stock market rally was likely driven by reduced uncertainty, as the options market dynamics provided a tailwind for stocks to move higher. - Additionally, Friday was a ‘quadruple witching’ day, when several types of financial contracts (like options and futures) expired simultaneously. This often leads to heightened market activity and volatility. - The reduced fears of a recession are positive for US stocks, and expectations of a strong October could happen earlier, which may cancel out the usual market downturn typically seen in September. 2️⃣More Volatility Could Lie Ahead as Investors Eye Fed Officials’ Remarks This Week - Bitcoin now faces some headwinds in the $64,000-$67,000 region. - Aside from the bullish seasonality and risk asset growth post-FOMC, the upcoming US election remains a key driver for Bitcoin and the broader crypto market. - One key risk for both crypto and traditional finance this week is potential pushback from Federal Reserve speakers, as markets are expecting more aggressive rate cuts than the Fed has projected for 2025. - Week ahead: 🇲🇾 MY CPI 🇺🇸 US PCE 🇺🇸 US GDP (Final) 🇯🇵 JP Tokyo CP 🔹 To explore our crypto funds or private mandates, start a conversation with us here: halogen.my/contact-us/

Yesterday marked a significant milestone in the cryptocurrency industry with the historic approval of the first-ever US Spot Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF). This landmark moment means that both institutional and retail investors in the United States now have the opportunity to directly invest in Bitcoin through a regulated financial product. According to Bloomberg, over $4.6 billion worth of shares traded between the 11 new spot Bitcoin ETFs on Thursday. During the US trading session, Bitcoin reached a high around $49,000, though it closed the day near flat at $46,300. This is a substantial increase from the low it experienced back in December 2022 (around $16,000) following the collapse of the infamous cryptocurrency exchange, FTX. In the latest episode of BFM’s "Enterprise Explores," our Founder and CEO, @ooihann, provided an insightful review of the events of 2023 and shared his perspective on the outlook for 2024 together with @Zhongychan, Head of Research at @coingecko.

🚨 NEW WEBINAR ALERT 🚨 Have you ever wondered how the world would be if we had dismissed investing in the Internet in the 1990s? Today, we are at a similar crossroads with cryptocurrency. Join @ooihann, as he dives deeper into the rise of crypto in the investment landscape!

Bitcoin hits $111,000 for the first time 🚀 But if you rewind to March 2020 – when it crashed below $5,000 during the COVID-19 crash – investors panicked and sold. Those who stayed the course saw it climb to above $100,000. That’s volatility at work – and why staying invested for the long term matters. Our investment team at Halogen Capital – Hann, Fuad, Raihan and Marquis – takes an approach rooted in time-tested principles, on top of managing downside risk and staying disciplined when others react emotionally.

Good morning ☕️🇲🇾 Key finance & crypto markets highlights in the last 7 days: 🇺🇸 US payroll growth slows; jobless rate ticks higher to 4.1% 🇲🇾 Ringgit edges up against the US dollar ahead of US non-farm payrolls data. 🔻 Bitcoin’s price fell under $55,000 for the first time since February - Should you buy the dip amid extreme low sentiment in crypto? Our thoughts: - Interestingly, some are already buying: $143.1 million flowed into the ETFs ecosystem, marking the 4th largest inflow day since June, according to Farside Investors. - Although $50,000 should provide support for now, the supply overhang in Bitcoin due to government selling and Mt. Gox repayments could limit price growth in the near term. - Investors should avoid chasing any bounces without confirmation of strength and consider waiting for better entry opportunities. - Week ahead: 🇲🇾 BNM OPR Decision 🇲🇾 MY Employment 🇺🇸 US CPI 🇺🇸 Initial Jobless Claims - Read more of our thoughts here: blog.halogen.my/bitcoin-drop…

Did you know that despite recent market volatility, US BTC ETF inflows pushed Bitcoin to around the $72,000 level (RM 338,000~) in early June? Prices then dropped below $70,000 (RM 329,000~) and moved toward $60,000 (RM 282,000~) due to the 🇩🇪 German government's sell-off and concerns over the Mt. Gox BTC release. With sell pressure anticipated to ease from mid-July and ETF inflows continuing, Bitcoin's long-term growth potential remains strong. 💡 Remember: it’s not just about watching—stay informed, manage your portfolio, and commit to a long-term investment strategy. 🔗 Start investing with Halogen here: bit.ly/3XV1Kzh

🚨 NEW WEBINAR ALERT 🚨 Do halvings boost Bitcoin’s price? Every four years, the Bitcoin network undergoes a significant event known as the “Halving”. Remarkably, this is also the first time in Bitcoin’s history that the cryptocurrency has reached an all-time high of $73,000, within a year before halving. In the past, Bitcoin halvings have been long-term bullish drivers for the cryptocurrency’s price. But how will the next halving impact Bitcoin’s price and the broader ecosystem? Join us in this upcoming webinar, where we’ll explore the potential implications of the next Bitcoin halving in depth, together with Colin Goh, Head of Trading at Halogen Capital and @Zhongychan, Head of Research at @coingecko! 👉 Register here: halogen.my/events/bitcoin-ha…

Good morning ☕️🇲🇾 Key finance & crypto markets highlights in the last 7 days: 🇺🇸 US CPI inflation drops to 3% in June vs. 3.1% expected 🇲🇾 Ringgit climbs to six-month high of 4.6630 against US dollar, best performing Asian currency 🔻 Bitcoin drops as German Government unloads over $900M Worth of BTC - Our thoughts: - We previously advised investors to wait for signs of strength before chasing the move. Last week confirmed this as German BTC selling was absorbed by ETF inflows. - As such, the BTC floor is now likely to be $55,000 instead of $50,000; Weekend volumes are 30-40% of weekday levels, so confirmation would still be necessary.  - The focus now shifts to the spot Ether ETF listing, expected to take place this week. - Week ahead: 🇨🇳 CN GDP 🇺🇸 US Retail Sales 🇺🇸 Initial Jobless Claims 🇲🇾 MY GDP - Read more of our thoughts here: blog.halogen.my/bitcoin-slum…

Good morning. Is Bitcoin quietly emerging as a safe haven in a world of political turmoil? Last week, Trump’s clash with Fed Chair Powell and China’s deepening regional ties kept markets on edge. Through it all, Bitcoin held steady around $84K–$85K — showing quiet resilience amid the noise. As uncertainty grows, staying defensive and focusing on the long term could make all the difference. 🔗 Interested in exploring our crypto funds or private mandates?

Good morning ☕️🇲🇾 Key finance & crypto markets highlights in the last 7 days: - #Bitcoin drops below $60,000 (RM 287k) before rebounding ahead of halving - Ringgit drops toward 26-year low to RM 4.78 per dollar - S&P 500 records year's worst week, closes below 5,000 mark 👇 • 🇺🇸 S&P 500 posted its worst weekly performance, tumbling 0.88% to 4,967 on Friday, fueled by escalating geopolitical tensions. • 🛢️Gold and oil, broke $2,400 and $90 per barrel over the Iranian action, retreated. • 🇲🇾 The Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) experienced sustained pressure, hitting a high of 4.7965 on Tuesday after U.S. retail sales data were published. •🔻 Reacting to the Friday headline about Israel's response to Iran's strike, major cryptocurrencies briefly fell through critical support levels, with Bitcoin dipping below $60,000 and Ethereum dropping below $2,900. *** Looking Ahead - Our Insights 1️⃣ Inflation concerns have materialised, impacting April's typically bullish market trend, with only one Fed rate cut expected in September Fed shifts to a hawkish stance, suggesting prolonged higher interest rates. 2️⃣ For now, the fate of risk assets is tied closely to the developments of the conflict. 3️⃣ While halving ensures Bitcoin remains deflationary, a reminder that it shouldn't be the sole reason for investing into the token. Historically, Bitcoin gains momentum 4-6 months after a halving event. *** 🔗 Read our full market recap here: halogen.my/learn/bitcoin-dip…

Curious about how crypto taxes work in Malaysia? 🇲🇾 We recently hosted a webinar on this topic with Tien Yee Tan, Tax Partner at PwC Malaysia, and @ooihann, Founder and CEO of Halogen Capital. Catch the full recording below for all the insights and details you need! 🔗 piped.video/xr3DwL9YqAM?si=VN5q…

It’s official — the US SEC has approved the listing of all spot Ethereum ETFs! 🎉 This approval includes ETFs from major financial institutions like BlackRock, Fidelity, and Grayscale, potentially paving the way for these products to start trading later this year. But, why the delay? - For ETFs, S-1 forms detail how a fund will be managed and track the underlying asset’s price. - The SEC must approve both the 19b-4 filings and the S-1 forms before the ETFs can officially launch. While the SEC has approved the 19b-4 forms for ETH ETFs, the S-1 registration statements need to go effective before trading can commence. Following today’s order, the SEC is expected to provide feedback to issuers on their S-1 forms.

Made some crypto gains? Great. Now it’s time to manage them wisely. When your portfolio grows, especially during a strong rally, it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement. But when one asset (like Bitcoin or an altcoin) has surged, it might be too large as a portion of your portfolio. That’s where rebalancing comes in. Rebalancing means adjusting your portfolio back to your intended mix – taking some gains from the outperformers and reallocating them into other areas to maintain diversification. Not sure how to do it? That’s where we come in. As a licensed crypto fund manager, we help inventors manage their portfolios with structure and discipline – so you don’t have to navigate the ups and downs alone. Let’s build that plan together: bit.ly/4llG1Jp
