 <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-making-a-case-for-singapore">Making a Case for Singapore</h3> 
 <p>Several nations from the list are deemed to be crypto hubs in the global economy. Take the example of Singapore. Right from&nbsp;Ripple&nbsp;to&nbsp;Crypto.com, a host of prominent companies have been receiving licenses from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) to extend their services in this region. As reported recently, the “well-regulated, efficiently governed” region is what has been attracting firms to the nation. Parallelly, Singapore also has the&nbsp;highest&nbsp;rating in the world for digital infrastructure. It additionally occupies one of the top positions in the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business Index, making it quite a competitive hub.</p>

 <p>Despite the uncertain regulatory landscape, even India has been trying to leave a mark on the crypto industry. In this sector, the demand for blockchain developers is usually high. India has one of the largest pools of developers, giving it a positional advantage. Several stalwarts from the space are optimistic about the future as well. </p> 
 <p>Minal Thukral, Executive Vice-President, Growth and Strategy, CoinDCX, recently asserted that the crypto industry has immense potential and will certainly create many more jobs and entrepreneurial opportunities for India’s workforce. In fact, companies like BlackRock are also looking to fortify their position in this region. Further elaborating on the trend, the K33 research report asserted,</p>

 <p>China, on the other hand, became the flag-bearer of anti-crypto nations after it announced a nationwide crackdown on this asset class in 2021. However, this region has been softening its stance of late. Beijing recently supported Hong Kong’s vision of becoming a crypto hub. In fact, officials from China’s Liaison Office have been “frequent guests” at crypto gatherings, with their encounters being labeled “friendly.” Officials have also been checking on developments, asking for reports, and in some cases, making follow-up calls. </p>
