Had 30+ in-person meetings, lunches, and dinners over the last 4 days across Hong Kong and Singapore.
- Conversations with regulators were very positive: highly knowledgeable, pragmatic, and encouraging.

- I came away with a much stronger appreciation for the role of regulated exchanges like
@HashKeyGroup in the ecosystem.
- The food, in-person culture, and respect for relationships are genuinely refreshing :)
