Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Manet has pledged to step up a crackdown on transnational online scam networks.
Online scam centers have proliferated across Southeast Asia since the pandemic, turning Cambodia, Myanmar and Laos into hubs for criminal enterprises. More from his interview with @avrilhongTV: https://t.co/B8Pl2rl0nx
Grateful to be invited as a speaker at Sip Sip Fest Phnom Penh 2026.
I shared my journey from starting a coffee shop, facing business failure, and eventually finding my way into Web3.
Not every path is straight, but every failure teaches you something.
Thank you @siraptn@bitget for opportunity โจ

6 months of building. what's next?
TLDR: We focused on putting in place the product, partnership and governance foundations for the next phase of Extended. TradFi partnership, hundreds of new crypto and RWA markets, spot trading and further decentralisation are coming. Our approach to growth remains unchanged: no KOL round, no paid promotions, no paid PR, no podcast sponsorships and no paid market-making arrangements.
Over the past 6 months, the team at @extendedapp has been focused on a fairly simple objective: building the product, infrastructure and partnerships required to support the next stage of growth.
A lot of the work happened behind the scenes but we are now getting to the point where the pieces are starting to come together.
Product
Some of the key items are already live:
- Multi-asset collateral, allowing users to post wBTC, ETH and USDT alongside USDC. Besides expanding the collateral universe, it also unlocks simple cash-and-carry strategies directly on the platform.
- Full email onboarding, including gasless deposits and withdrawals. While not particularly exciting on its own, it unlocks fiat on/off-ramp integrations that are required to onboard non-native users.
- Significant improvements to UI stability, responsiveness and overall user experience, driven largely by user feedback collected over the past months.
Several important pieces are coming next:
- Spot trading, which we view as a table-stakes component of a complete exchange experience and an important UX improvement to multi-asset collateral.
- Opening up our lending infrastructure beyond the exchange itself, allowing users to deposit wBTC, ETH and USDT, borrow USDC and deploy capital elsewhere.
- New trading infrastructure that will unlock hundreds of additional crypto and RWA markets. Internally, this is the product initiative we are most excited about.
Growth
Over the same period, we have spent a lot of time thinking about how Extended should grow.
One principle remains unchanged: we do not pay for KOL promotions, PR, podcast sponsorships or market-making arrangements. This applies equally to cash, tokens and points.
Its a slower path and not the easiest one but over time we have become increasingly convinced that sustainable growth is built on product quality, distribution and community rather than financial incentives.
We have also completed a number of less visible but equally important initiatives:
- Finalised the legal and commercial framework for our first tradfi partnership, which unlocks some of the product initiatives mentioned above and establishes a foundation for future institutional integrations.
- Secured the majority of the long-term partners who will help operate, secure and govern Extended. We are proud of the quality of the organisations that chose to support the vision and will be sharing more details separately.
- Spent considerable time with our largest users and major ecosystem participants to gather feedback and ensure alignment around the long-term direction of the protocol.
- Remained committed to our original targets for early community rewards, despite certain things taking longer than anticipated.
This month is an important one for Extended. It will conclude the team's efforts over the past 6 months and mark the beginning of the next phase: further decentralisation, ecosystem expansion and the transition to a community-owned protocol.
A few people said they don't have funds to play today's UCL Final, so let's do a quick giveaway.
10 lucky winners will get $10 each, sent directly to their Polymarket account as a tip.
โ 10 x $10 = $100

Ends in 2-3 hours. Good luck ๐๐ป
What multi-asset collateral unlocks for @extendedapp's roadmap:
- Alongside multi-asset collateral, we have built spot trading infrastructure (all non-USDC liquidations already route through the native spot market), leveraged spot and a lending protocol.
- As the next step, we will open spot trading to users and expand lending beyond the Extended ecosystem to support broader DeFi use cases.
- Reasonably soon, we will multiply the number of crypto and TradFi markets available on Extended, while keeping liquidity and execution quality as top priorities and upgrading spot trading to support leverage.
While multi-asset collateral is only one part of the broader vision, it is foundational to Extendedโs goal of building one margin account across all markets: hundreds of crypto and TradFi perpetual markets, leveraged spot, an open lending protocol, yield products (XVS), and other trading products.
