A SoftBank-, Coatue-, and Hillhouse-backed data-center operator weighing one of Singapore's largest-ever listings is a reminder that "APAC secondaries" isn't just startups and fintech — AI infrastructure is now a major category of private capital looking for an exit path too.

DayOne's spin-out from China's GDS Holdings, now considering a dual Singapore–New York listing, also shows how AI-infrastructure companies are increasingly structuring for global capital access rather than staying anchored to a single home market.
