WeBank resolves to become a digitalization enabler at SFF x SWITCH 2020
Dec 7 to 11, 2020. WeBank, the world’s leading digital bank, virtually participated in the Singapore Fintech Festival (SFF) and the Singapore Week of Innovation and Technology (SWITCH) 2020, the world’s first week-long round-the-clock, hybrid digital and physical event. It allowed audience access to over 650 speakers from the global innovation and tech community, 150 content partners, 200 sessions to engage participants and more than 900 exhibitors on the digital platform.
WeBank has engaged in the SFF for the third year in a row. At SFF 2019, Prime Minister of the Republic of Singapore visited WeBank’s booth. This year, WeBank brought its latest fintech achievements and explained its commitment to be a digitalization enabler in the era of digital economy.
Henry Ma, Executive Vice President and Chief Information Officer of WeBank, shared his insights of open consortium chain at the From 1 to 100 – The Future of Blockchain Consortium Building session. “The concept of Open Consortium Chain initiates an approach which allows for rapid development and deployment of blockchain applications and also leaves enough room for organic growth down the road,” said Henry.
He also revealed the mutual recognition system of Macao blockchain health code and Guangdong health code. It is a typical digitalization case that adopted leading-edge technologies (or the new digital infrastructure) to build cross-border trusted collaborations in the digital economy era.
New digital infrastructure will catalyze the evolution of trust mechanism among businesses, which leads to deeper and wider trusted collaborations. Since its foundation, WeBank has researched and applied various digital infrastructure solutions, such as Federated AI Technology Enabler FATE, Open Consortium Chain platform FISCO BCOS, and one-stop open-source suitcase for big data platforms WeDataSphere. These open-source projects are gradually adopted by more communities of partners on their paths to digitalization.
As a technology innovator in the world’s leading digital bank league, WeBank stressed the theme “New Infrastructure for Digital Economy” with specific fintech capabilities and solutions on its virtual booths at the SFF x SWITCH 2020. For the first time, WeBank moved the real space of its central core of IT management – Enterprise Command Center online via a virtual tour program. It deployed an immersive experience of a fully-online digital bank’s daily operation. It also showcased latest researches and innovations in areas of AI, Blockchain, Cloud Computing and Big Data:
- In terms of AI, WeBank displayed a series of leading innovations in Federated AI Collaborative Ecosystem, New-generation Human-computer Interaction, AI Marketing, and AI Asset Management.
- WeBank illuminated the SG Blockchain Village with comprehensive Open Consortium Chain solutions including the infrastructure platform FISCO BCOS, middleware kits WeBase, applications such as identity authentication, data cooperation, cross-chain and privacy protection, as well as practical cases.

The Blockchain Renaissance – AI, Infrastructure, and Eastern Europe’s Ascent
As we navigate through the intricate tapestry of blockchain and cryptocurrency, May 6, 2025, stands out as a day marked by significant strides in technology, infrastructure, and regional innovation. From the fusion of artificial intelligence with blockchain analytics to the strategic expansion of data centers, the landscape is evolving at an unprecedented pace. Eastern Europe, particularly Romania, is emerging as a formidable player in the blockchain arena, leveraging platforms like Solana to drive innovation. Simultaneously, the integration of blockchain into warehouse operations signifies the technology’s permeation into traditional industries.
Arkham and Blockchair: Redefining On-Chain Transparency
In the realm of blockchain analytics, Arkham Intelligence and Blockchair are pioneering a new era of on-chain visibility. Arkham Intelligence, founded by Miguel Morel and backed by notable investors such as Sam Altman and Tim Draper, utilizes AI to deanonymize blockchain addresses, providing a clearer view of cryptocurrency flows. This approach, while enhancing transparency, raises questions about privacy and the balance between openness and confidentiality in the decentralized world.
Blockchair complements this by offering a comprehensive blockchain search and analytics engine, enabling users to explore transactions across multiple blockchains. Their tools facilitate a deeper understanding of blockchain data, empowering users to make informed decisions.

DMG Blockchain Solutions: Strategic Pivot Towards AI Infrastructure
DMG Blockchain Solutions Inc. has reported its preliminary operational results for April 2025, highlighting a strategic shift towards artificial intelligence infrastructure. The company mined 30 BTC during the month, a slight decrease from March, attributed to increased network difficulty and a shorter month. Notably, DMG increased its realized hashrate to 1.93 EH/s, supported by the deployment of additional Bitmain S21+ Hydro miners.
In a significant move, DMG liquidated a portion of its Bitcoin holdings to fund the acquisition of 2 megawatts of prefabricated AI data center infrastructure. This investment marks a demonstrative shift towards utilizing returns from Bitcoin mining to fund AI capital expenditures, aiming to secure off-take agreements with high-value government and enterprise users seeking sovereign AI solutions in Canada.
