Every mother has a favourite. But at Mama Shelter, it's every ARC member.
We're excited to announce our partnership with Mama Shelter Singapore, a playful, design-led urban hotel made to feel like a home away from home.
What's interesting are their core concepts and values: dynamic spaces for you to relax, work, eat, meet and greet. 5* luxury bedding, organic solid amenities, thoughtfully prepared homemade food and free movies.
With this partnership, ARC members will enjoy preferential rates for both the hotel and the F&B.

Take one ingredient out of a dish. If nobody notices, it didn't really matter anyway.
The same test works for crypto × AI. @jerome_, Cofounder & General Partner at @mf__xyz, puts it like this:
"Would this product be worse without crypto, and would it be worse without AI?"
The ARC × Preferences AI 2026 APAC Crypto Infrastructure Map report scores nine sectors on two things. Excitement is how much a sector is expected to grow. Evidence is how much working, revenue-earning activity it has to show today.
AI scores 84 on excitement and 31 on evidence, the widest gap of the nine. Put simply, AI is expected to grow a lot, but very little of it is bringing in revenue yet.
The scores are modelled from Preferences AI's synthetic builder panel: 6,000 profiles across six Asian hubs.
So if the honest reason AI is in your product is "it helps the pitch", there’s your answer.
scam? hack?

To kick off our partnership with Royale Pilates, we brought members together for a Reformer Pilates class at their TRX studio in Kuala Lumpur.
Part of building ARC is creating more opportunities for our members to spend time together. You might first meet someone through their business, then get to know them properly over an afternoon like this, between groans and the shared realisation that everyone might struggle with the stairs tomorrow. 😎
Shoutout to the Royale Pilates team for hosting us and giving our Malaysian members a new way to spend time together!
If you enjoyed the session and are already thinking about round two, here's a reminder that your ARC member discount applies to eligible classes and packages at all three Royale Pilates studios. Maybe bring a fellow Stellar along?

The 2026 APAC Crypto Infrastructure Map Report compares six markets to assess where crypto businesses can thrive.
Using the Builder Sentiment Index, derived from 6,000 synthetic builder profiles modelled by @PreferencesAi, Hong Kong ranks highest overall, supported by its institutional infrastructure and capital depth.
Do you agree with the findings?

crypto is dangerous my govt says.
BREAKING: Bank of America stock, $BAC, falls over -8% after the bank was fined $1.2 billion over money laundering violations and US CPI inflation pushes rate hike expectations higher.
The stock has now erased -$30 billion of market cap today.
Asia has always been seen as a single market. It's easier to explain, understand and to an extent - sell. Until you put boots and ears on the ground will one actually fully realize the fragmentation between not just countries but cities can be intimidating.
But. Is there money to be made? Yes. Is there opportunity? Yes. But how can we better understand it? That was literally what @0xJayHK and Tamir from @PreferencesAi were discussing with me in Hong Kong at @consensus2027 earlier this year. So we decided to fuck it and put our brains (with the help of AI of course) to put this together.
ARC started all the years ago with the purpose of making crypto in Asia a smaller place. In that, with the many members around Asia and beyond connecting people and gaining insights would be much easier than ever before. This report encapsulates the insights we have gotten from selected members in the hope this helps the industry further understand everything from builder sentiment to regulatory hurdles. Too many to tag, so will let my team do it in the main post 🤣🤣🤣
Do give this a read if you like and hope this helps you all.
ps 1: shoutout to @jaclynleezy for running point on this
ps 2: feedback welcomed as always
2026 APAC Crypto Infrastructure Map: Builder Sentiment & Market Readiness Across the Region
ARC × @PreferencesAI
Six markets. Nine sectors. A practical map for founders, allocators, institutions and practitioners of where crypto businesses can:
→ operate
→ access capital
→ bank
→ hire
→ find customers
→ deploy
Full report is live.
Get it here:

Soon 👀
First-time founders and businesses looking to expand to APAC often ask us: "Where can a crypto business actually operate and grow?"
In APAC, a market might have users but limited access to capital. Another might have capital, but banking restrictions make it difficult to operate. Others have plenty of builders, yet institutional investors remain hesitant to deploy capital.
Honestly, there’s no straightforward answer.
If you were starting a crypto company in APAC today, where would you base it?
- Singapore
- Hong Kong
- South Korea
- Thailand
- Malaysia
- Vietnam
- Somewhere else

On the invitation we said the best conversations don't happen in conference rooms.
More than 50 founders, builders and community members turned up one evening to test that, on a padel and pickleball court.
Most of them had played only a handful of times, which meant they spent the evening being visibly bad at something in front of people they had only just met. It is much easier to like someone who has just missed the same shot you did.
People walked out sweaty and were already arranging the next game between themselves.
The evening worked because four companies each brought the thing they build.
Love All (loveall.club/) gave us the courts, inside Grace Orchard School, where the club runs employment pathways for graduates with special needs.
Grain (grain.com.sg/) fed the room before we started.
We The Makers (wethemakers.xyz/), founded by our Stellar @KingOfMerch_, sponsored the welcome gifts.
LOOM (instagram.com/loomworks.stud…) co-hosted, where our Stellar @_andrewxchan is its Founder and CEO.
Thank you to everyone who played, and to our Stellar, Boba, for stepping in to coach pickleball.
If you are building something and want to be in rooms like this one, come talk to us.

Most of you will be hosting plenty of dinners and events during this year's TOKEN2049 Singapore, and we know finding the right venue can be harder than catching the BTC bottom.
Thankfully, this latest partnership gives ARC members another option in their arsenal.
Meet Foura (foura.sg/). It brings together delicious contemporary Asian and European cuisine, crafted with premium, well-sourced ingredients chosen for both exceptional flavour and natural nutritional value, alongside wellness experiences like yoga, pilates, sound baths and community events, making it an ideal venue for meaningful gatherings and connection.
Another concept from our Stellar @AryyyGold, and we've partnered up to bring ARC members an exclusive dining discount and preferential event rates.
Details are in the ARC app and our private TG channel.
