Sommario:Upbit Singapore obtains a Major Payment Institution (MPI) license from the Monetary Authority of Singapore.
The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has officially granted Upbit Singapore a Major Payment Institution (MPI) license, signalling a significant stride for the company's commitment to Singapore's crypto regulations.
Alex Kim, Founder and CEO of Upbit Singapore, emphasized Singapore's emergence as a global digital asset innovation hub, stating the country's pivotal role for institutional businesses. He highlighted Upbit Singapore's poised position as the hub for institutional activities, leveraging Singapore's robust regulatory framework and its standing as a leading financial centre in Asia.
It was said that the license represents a crucial milestone for Upbit Singapore, enabling the provision of advanced digital asset solutions to both institutional and retail clients, thereby contributing significantly to Singapore's thriving digital ecosystem.
This accomplishment situates Upbit Singapore, a subsidiary of Upbit APAC, under the global digital asset group's oversight, managing regulated digital asset exchanges across Singapore, Indonesia, and Thailand.
Obtaining the MPI license from MAS represents a regulatory triumph for Upbit Singapore, facilitating the integration of digital assets within the institutional finance landscape.
In an earlier development in October, Upbit received an In-Principal Approval for an MPI license from MAS, signifying a substantial leap towards providing regulated digital payment token services.
The collaborative efforts among Singapore's government, financial institutions, businesses, and the public have solidified its position as a crypto innovation hub, akin to Switzerland and the UAE.
The pursuit of MPI licenses in Singapore extends beyond Upbit. Ripple, Coinbase, and Sygnum securing these licenses highlight the country's allure to crypto firms seeking regulated expansion. Prominent entities such as Payoneer, Blockchain.com, and TerraPay further accentuate Singapore's appeal for cryptocurrency businesses, underscoring its pivotal role in shaping the global crypto landscape.
Recently, MAS introduced new regulations to curb speculation and safeguard crypto users. The regulator unveiled stringent guidelines for Digital Payment Token (DPT) service providers in the country.
These regulations, set to be enforced from mid-2024, aim to transform how crypto entities operate in Singapore. The MAS demands a fundamental shift in how DPT service providers conduct their business, emphasizing accountability and risk mitigation as critical aspects.
