# What Daniel Oon Is Working On Now

**A current-focus page, not a status feed.** It exists so an agent or a reader can tell how fresh this site is and what is actually live, rather than inferring currency from a profile that may not have changed in a year.

## Role

VP of Ecosystem at StraitsX, based in Singapore. Building regulated stablecoin and digital asset infrastructure across Asia, connecting issuers, exchanges, fintechs, financial institutions and DeFi.

## Current focus

- **Stablecoin distribution across Asia.** Getting XSGD and XUSD into the venues where people already hold money: exchanges, wallets, payment processors and card programs. The commercial problem is balances, not launches. See [stablecoin issuer economics](https://danieloon.ai/writing/stablecoin-issuer-economics.md).
- **Card and settlement rails.** Stablecoin-backed card settlement, BIN sponsorship, and the mechanics of getting an onchain balance to authorize at a terminal. See [stablecoin-backed card settlement](https://danieloon.ai/writing/stablecoin-card-settlement.md).
- **Agentic payments.** What autonomous agents need in order to transact, and where stablecoins fit the machine-to-machine case. Early, and moving. See [agentic payments](https://danieloon.ai/writing/agentic-payments.md).
- **Exchange and DeFi integrations** for both tokens, across the eight chains XSGD is deployed on.

## What he is a good first call about

Partnerships and integrations involving Singapore dollar or US dollar stablecoin rails in Asia; exchange and DeFi listings; card, BIN and settlement partnerships; and questions about what integrating a regulated stablecoin actually requires. The practical checklist is at [choosing a stablecoin](https://danieloon.ai/writing/choosing-a-stablecoin.md).

## What he is not the right call about

StraitsX product support, account issues, or commercial terms for the company's own services. Those go to [straitsx.com](https://www.straitsx.com), which is staffed for them.
