Fieldnotes Celebrates Second Anniversary with New Store in Raffles City and Limited-Edition Collection
Expansion to Raffles City and New Dine-In Concept
Founded in 2023, Fieldnotes began as a boutique cake brand inspired by botanical aesthetics, subtle natural flavours, and a desire to offer quality cakes in Singapore that cater to everyday enjoyment rather than just special occasions. Over the past two years, it has expanded from a single location into a recognisable name among Singapore's lifestyle-conscious dessert enthusiasts.
With the new cake shop opening in Raffles City, the brand aims to reach working professionals and city shoppers looking for desserts to share at the office or bring home. The outlet will also feature design elements that reflect Fieldnotes' connection to nature, including plant installations, stucco walls, and textured finishes. The choice of interior design aligns with the brand's intention to create a calm, organic atmosphere amid the city's hustle and bustle.
'This expansion reflects our commitment to reaching more parts of Singapore and sharing our cakes and flavours with a broader community,' said Ms Heng Li Jin, Director of Fieldnotes.
Anniversary Promotions and Merchandise
To celebrate its second anniversary, Fieldnotes will also be introducing a series of promotions at its Neil Road outlet. These include special in-store deals, gifts with purchase, and the launch of a limited-edition merchandise collection.
The collection, which includes T-shirts, sticker sheets, and cooler bags, marks Fieldnotes' first venture into lifestyle merchandise. Available while stocks last, these items extend the brand's identity beyond food, offering customers new ways to engage with its nature-inspired aesthetic.
While no new cake flavours have been officially announced for the anniversary month, the brand continues to explore ingredients such as tea, herbs, cocoa, and nuts. These choices reflect the company's focus on evoking earthy, natural elements through its offerings.
Growth and Future Direction
The opening of the new cake shop in Raffles City is one step in a broader expansion strategy. A new dine-in concept is currently in development, with plans to incorporate nature more deeply into both the menu and the experiences they offer.
According to Ms Heng, Fieldnotes' evolution over the past two years has been guided by a desire to create cakes that are part of daily life. 'Our philosophy is rooted in intentionality, storytelling, and connection—we hope to create meaningful moments through both our cakes and our dine-in spaces,' she shared.

Citigroup, JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs lead TradFi's blockchain charge: Ripple
Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, Goldman Sachs and Japan's SBI Group have emerged as the most active players in traditional finance backing blockchain startups, according to a new report by Ripple in partnership with CB Insights and the UK Centre for Blockchain Technologies. Between 2020 and 2024, global banks participated in 345 investments in blockchain companies, most of them in early-stage funding rounds, per the report. Citigroup and Goldman Sachs led the pack with 18 deals each, while JP Morgan and Mitsubishi UFJ followed closely with 15 investments. Mega-rounds, deals worth $100 million or more, were a key focus. Banks contributed to 33 such rounds during the four-year window, pouring capital into firms focused on trading infrastructure, tokenization, custody, and payment solutions. Notable examples include CloudWalk in Brazil, which raised over $750 million across two rounds backed by Banco Itaú and others. Likewise, Solaris in Germany secured over $100 million from SBI Group and later became a majority acquisition target. G-SIBs back blockchain with 100+ deals Global Systemically Important Banks (G-SIBs), a group of financial institutions with such significant economic weight that their failure could trigger global financial instability, accounted for 106 deals, including 14 mega-rounds valued at over $100 million each. US and Japanese institutions led in deal volume, but Singapore, France, and the UK were also active. In total, over $100 billion was poured into blockchain startups between 2020 and 2024 across more than 10,000 deals globally. Ripple's survey of over 1,800 global finance leaders also found that 90% believe blockchain and digital assets will have a 'significant or massive' impact on the industry within three years. The momentum is also supported by regulatory developments, including the Guiding and Establishing National Innovation for US Stablecoins, or GENIUS Act, in the US and Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) in the EU, both of which provide a clearer framework for digital asset operations. Banks back stablecoins, tokenization next Backing the investment trend is soaring demand for real-world blockchain applications. According to a Citi report, stablecoin volumes hit $650–$700 billion per month in Q1 2025, and more banks are launching their own stablecoins to offer programmable money without exposure to volatility. Looking ahead, tokenization is expected to be a defining trend. Boston Consulting Group and Ripple estimate that tokenized real-world assets could exceed $18 trillion by 2033, with a compound annual growth rate of 53%. Source:

China's independent oil firms elbow into Iraq's majors-dominated market
SINGAPORE/BAGHDAD - China's independent oil companies are ramping up operations in Iraq, investing billions of dollars in OPEC's number two producer even as some global majors have scaled back from a market dominated by Beijing's big state-run firms. Drawn by more lucrative contract arrangements, smaller Chinese producers are on track to double their output in Iraq to 500,000 barrels per day by around 2030, according to estimates by executives at four of the firms, a figure not previously reported. For Baghdad, which is also seeking to lure global giants, the growing presence of the mostly privately run Chinese players marks a shift as Iraq comes under growing pressure to accelerate projects, according to multiple Iraqi energy officials. In recent years, Iraq's oil ministry had pushed back on rising Chinese control over its oilfields. For the smaller Chinese firms, managed by veterans of China's state heavyweights, Iraq is an opportunity to leverage lower costs and faster development of projects that may be too small for Western or Chinese majors. With meagre prospects in China's state-dominated oil and gas industry, the overseas push mirrors a pattern by Chinese firms in other heavy industries to find new markets for productive capacity and expertise. Little-known players including Geo-Jade Petroleum Corp , United Energy Group, Zhongman Petroleum and Natural Gas Group and Anton Oilfield Services Group made a splash last year when they won half of Iraq's exploration licensing rounds. Executives at smaller Chinese producers say Iraq's investment climate has improved as the country becomes more politically stable and Baghdad is keen to attract Chinese as well as Western companies. Iraq wants to boost output by more than half to over 6 million bpd by 2029. China's CNPC alone accounts for more than half of Iraq's current production at massive fields including Haifaya, Rumaila and West Qurna 1. PROFIT-SHARING, RISK TOLERANCE Iraq's shift a year ago to contracts based on profit-sharing from fixed-fee agreements - an attempt to accelerate projects after ExxonMobil and Shell scaled back - helped lure Chinese independents. These smaller firms are nimbler than the big Chinese companies and more risk-tolerant than many companies that might consider investing in the Gulf economy. Chinese companies offer competitive financing, cut costs with cheaper Chinese labour and equipment and are willing to accept lower margins to win long-term contracts, said Ali Abdulameer at state-run Basra Oil Co, which finalises contracts with foreign firms. "They are known for rapid project execution, strict adherence to timelines and a high tolerance for operating in areas with security challenges," he said. "Doing business with the Chinese is much easier and less complicated, compared to Western companies." Smaller Chinese firms can develop an oilfield in Iraq in two to three years, faster than the five to 10 years for Western firms, Chinese executives said. "Chinese independents have much lower management costs compared to Western firms and are also more competitive versus Chinese state-run players," said Dai Xiaoping, CEO of Geo-Jade Petroleum, which has five blocks in Iraq. The independents have driven down the industry cost to drill a development well in a major Iraqi oilfield by about half from a decade ago to between $4 million and $5 million, Dai said. TRADE-OFFS A Geo-Jade-led consortium agreed in May to invest in the South Basra project, which includes ramping up the Tuba field in southern Iraq to 100,000 bpd and building a 200,000-bpd refinery. Geo-Jade, committing $848 million, plans to revive output at the largely mothballed field to 40,000 bpd by around mid-2027, Dai told Reuters. The project also calls for a petrochemical complex and two power stations, requiring a multi-billion-dollar investment, said Dai, a reserve engineer who previously worked overseas with CNPC and Sinopec. Zhenhua Oil, a small state-run firm that partnered with CNPC in a $3 billion deal to develop Ahdab oilfield in 2008, the first major foreign-invested project after Saddam Hussein was toppled in 2003, aims to double its production to 250,000 bpd by 2030, a company official said. Zhongman Petroleum announced in June a plan to spend $481 million on the Middle Euphrates and East Baghdad North blocks won in 2024. Chinese firms' cheaper projects can come at the expense of Iraq's goal to introduce more advanced technologies. Muwafaq Abbas, former crude operations manager at Basra Oil, expressed concern about transparency and technical standards among Chinese firms, which he said have faced criticism for relying heavily on Chinese staff and relegating Iraqis to lower-paid roles. To be sure, some Western firms are returning to Iraq: TotalEnergies announced a $27 billion project in 2023, and BP is expected to spend up to $25 billion to redevelop four Kirkuk fields in the semi-autonomous Kurdish region, Reuters reported.
