Equity Crowdfunding has been a huge factor in contributing to the fintech start-up scene in ASEAN countries<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fintech landscape in ASEAN region is rapidly expanding, with Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia having the greatest number of domestic fintech start-ups. Within the ASEAN fintech scene, capital raising crowdfunding (donation crowdfunding, rewards crowdfunding, equity crowdfunding and real estate crowdfunding) is the third largest business model implemented after digital payments and digital lending according to The ASEAN FinTech Ecosystem Benchmarking Study. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This study also stated that crowdfunding platforms are mostly focused on donation crowdfunding and rewards crowdfunding, with equity crowdfunding coming in third place. This study also showed that equity crowdfunding platforms are mostly present in more developed countries within ASEAN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Facilitating Equity Crowdfunding in the ASEAN Region, a study published by The ASEAN Secretariat in Jakarta, equity crowdfunding is an important milestone of the capital market, and it is receiving more attention from regulators and policy makers around the world. The market is expected to be a significant source of funding for small and medium size enterprise (SME) all around the world now and in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equity crowdfunding, an important alternative source of funding for small businesses, is expected to be a significant game changer within the ASEAN region, as SMEs make up more than 96% of all enterprises in the ASEAN region, according to a paper published by ACCA titled SME Development in ASEAN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The expansion of equity crowdfunding is spurred by the development of the fintech landscape among ASEAN countries ,which are well-developed, have a relatively high GDP per capita and a high banked population (Eg: Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
