This pivotal move marks a new chapter in the association’s journey, with Anson at the forefront, leading the charge.

Background: Anson’s Pioneering Role and Reappointment

Anson’s illustrious history with ACCESS and his pivotal role in pioneering the local blockchain industry make him the ideal candidate for the interim Chairperson position.

By setting up IDAXA (which board comprises chairpersons of different crypto trade associations around the world), Anson has not only put Singapore on the map but has elevated the nation’s status as a key player in the international blockchain community.

ACCESS’s Role in Singapore’s Crypto & Blockchain Scene

As the first association to provide consultation responses to the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), Singapore Police Force (SPF), and the Association of Banks (ABS), ACCESS played a pivotal role in establishing the foundation for a regulated and respected crypto industry in Singapore.

Today, ACCESS continues to be the oldest and most respected association, representing the independent voice for Web3 and crypto companies in Singapore.

Looking Ahead: What Anson’s Appointment Means for ACCESS

With Anson at the helm, ACCESS is set to embark on a new era of growth and innovation. His role as the interim Chairperson comes at a critical juncture, where the industry is experiencing unprecedented expansion.
