Appreciate the Cointelegraph team cutting this.
The priorities have not really changed. Liquidity, execution, and whether users are protected when it counts.
More from Bitbase on this soon.
🎥 LATEST: @Bitbase_Ex Chief Business Officer Nicholas Lo (@nic_web3) says liquidity, execution and user protection remain traders’ core priorities.
“For traders, the core needs are extremely basic: liquidity, execution, and in case of emergency, is the exchange able to protect the users?” he told Cointelegraph at TOKEN2049 in Singapore.
We asked people at Singapore what they actually want an exchange to show them.Not just the market. Themselves.
Rewards that feel real. The FOMO moments. Habits, not only the losses.
Bitbase 2.0 is built around that feedback. Worth a listen.
🎙️"Most platforms show you the market. Very few show you yourself."
We asked traders what their exchange should truly reveal:
• Real rewards, not just another competition
• Emotion and FOMO triggers
• Insights to learn from habits, not just losses
What you want to see — Bitbase 2.0 heard you.🔊

Shared margin means one asset can take out a whole book. We already saw that with the billions wipeout.
Crypto, stocks, commodities sitting in the same account makes the speed of that spread higher than most people are used to.
The hard part is not spotting the risk. It’s whether the infrastructure can actually handle it when everything is linked and moving at once.
#HSCLifeRules - Nicholas Lo (@nic_web3), Chief Business Officer at @Bitbase_Ex, HSC Asset Management Singapore, October 8
We have seen what shared margin does inside the industry: one pair or one asset collapsed, and it caused around twenty billion in liquidations. Crypto is not just crypto anymore. Within an exchange it ties to stocks and commodities. In one single account, people hold positions across multiple assets and multiple time zones
That liquidation caused some mess, but we did all right. If a similar situation happens again, it will not be just a crypto problem. My biggest concern is whether we have enough infrastructure to handle it, because we are living in a more sensitive and more integrated world
#HSCSingapore
Appreciate the edit. That conversation was one of the more useful ones in Singapore.
Banks and exchanges will keep arguing over who holds the balances. The part that actually needs work is the exit. That still sits between the two sides.
#HSCLifeRules - Nicholas Lo (@nic_web3), Chief Business Officer at @Bitbase_Ex, HSC Asset Management Singapore, October 8
Between banks, exchanges and other providers, the fight for market share is most intense in two places. Number one is who holds the idle stablecoin balances. We've seen deposit tokens, and banks letting users buy crypto inside the banking app. Number two is who earns from the stables sitting with them
But technically, crypto and TradFi need each other. Crypto entities provide a 24/7 flow of users. To bring that onto regulated balance sheets, we need regulated providers like banks and institutional funds to provide an exit. We need to collaborate a bit more instead of competing over who keeps most of the stables
#HSCSingapore
Thanks for the tag, @usithetalk . Agree with this.
We will keep competing for users. Trust and adoption still get built together. That part does not have to be a fight.
#TOKEN2049 is never just one event. It's conferences, panels and meetings all happening across the city at once.
Good to share the stage with Kyle from @Gate and @nic_web3 from @Bitbase_Ex.
My takeaway: the future of crypto isn't only about competition, it's more about cooperation.
We compete for users and market share, but trust and adoption are things we build together.
We compete as exchanges, and grow as an industry. 💪

📺 THAT'S A WRAP | Bitbase ONWARD VIP Yacht Party ⛵️
Tonight on the water: builders, institutions, and pro traders.
Thanks to everyone who sailed with us — and to the community following from shore.
On board, or watching online? Drop a ⛵️ or tag us.
Appreciate the @Cointelegraph team having me on.
Fun conversation. Can't wait to see the edit.
🇸🇬 LATEST: @Bitbase_Ex, a global crypto exchange, joined us at LONGITUDE Singapore, and CBO Nicholas Lo @nic_web3 sat down with Cointelegraph for a conversation.
Watch this space for the interview.
It has been an incredibly full day.
At midday, I joined representatives from several organizations, including @Tether and @galaxyhq, at HSC for an in-depth discussion on the digital economy: what we are still missing, and where our priorities should lie next.
I am grateful to @mpost_io for their support, and to my fellow panelists for sharing such thoughtful insights.
Later, I sat down for two interviews, one with @crypto_banter and another with @Cointelegraph at LONGITUDE.
The questions varied, but the core focus stayed the same: what role should an exchange play for traders? And looking ahead to 2027 and beyond, as crypto trading becomes mainstream, what kind of exchange will traders actually need? I also shared a first look at what’s next for Bitbase, so stay tuned for the final footage.
Tomorrow is our ONWARD Yacht Party. I’m ready to set sail with @Bitbase_Ex.

See you there!
On stage today, 12:05 SGT: "Infrastructure for a Digital Economy" at HSC Asset Management Singapore.
Last night at the 1% Club. Left with a trading thought I keep having.
The 1% is not the size of the account. Plenty of people are the top 1% by balance and still have no idea what they do next.
The ones who actually sit in that room, at least the ones worth listening to, are not the ones who called the top. They are the ones who still have a plan when the call is wrong.
Size gets you in the room. A plan is why you are still trading next year.

Tonight it's The 1% Club with Crypto Banter.
Question for the traders here: How do you define 1%?

"The four-year cycle is dead. The four-year behavior isn't." — Bitbase CBO Nicholas @nic_web3 at CoinferenceX.
🌙 Tonight: Nicholas will attend the Crypto Banter special networking dinner sponsored by Bitbase @ Mandala Club!
Adhering to the essence of trading, moving ONWARD together! 👇
Today I closed out CoinFerenceX on "The Next Cycle: Bold Predictions for 2027".
My call: in 2027, consistency beats conviction.
This industry celebrates high-conviction bets. But plenty of high-conviction traders didn't make it through the last drawdown, and the ones still here have something less exciting: a repeatable process.
The platforms that win the next cycle will be the ones that help traders stay consistent: execution that holds when markets don't, risk tools that work on the worst day, and rules they can actually read.
Thanks to @CoinFerenceX and my fellow panelists for a sharp conversation.
#TOKEN2049 #BitbaseAt2049
First stop:
Today 16:50 SGT, "The Next Cycle: Bold Predictions for 2027".
I'm bringing one unpopular call about how traders win in 2027.

See you there.👋
Closing out @CoinFerenceX tomorrow with bold calls for 2027.
I'll bring mine. Reply with yours and I'll take a few on stage.
Most of the industry will be in Singapore next week. I'll be there with @Bitbase_Ex, on two stages.
Two very different panels, but I'm bringing the same question to both: what do serious traders actually need from the platforms they trust? I'll share my answer here this week.
