Silicon Box launches $2B semiconductor packaging fab in Singapore

Semiconductor startup Silicon Box, co-founded by Weili Dai, Sehat Sutardja, and CEO Byung Joon "BJ" Han, has launched a $2 billion advanced semiconductor packaging fab in Singapore. The facility aims to revolutionize chip manufacturing, develop local capabilities, and enhance Singapore's position as a global hub for semiconductor manufacturing. Silicon Box's proprietary fabrication method enables the industry to take advantage of the chiplet concept, bringing designs that double computing performance at lower costs for graphical processors, high-performance computing chips, and mobile processors. The company plans to produce 9,000 panels a week to power emerging technologies such as AI, data centers, electric vehicles, mobile devices, and wearables.

  • MAS: Singapore is working on global first-tier fund tokenization regulation

    Chia Der Jiun, Managing Director of the Monetary Authority of Singapore, introduced some fund tokenization pilots at an event for asset managers. These pilots are part of the Project Guardian and MAS Global Layer 1 (GL1) tokenization plans. Chia Der Jiun emphasized the advantages of tokenization in real-time settlement and process automation, which can improve efficiency and achieve greater customization of funds. UK asset management company Schroders and fund distribution platform Calastone are exploring this as part of the Project Guardian public blockchain trial in Singapore. A recent survey by Calastone showed that 96% of asset management companies in the Asia-Pacific region plan to launch tokenized products within three years. Chia stated that as these Project Guardian pilot projects approach commercialization, MAS is working with the pilot project managers to study the legal and regulatory treatment and impact of tokenized investment funds."
