Singapore was one of the first jurisdictions in the world to introduce a bespoke regulatory framework for crypto businesses, or digital payment token service providers (DPTSPs), in January 2020. Over the past four years, hundreds of crypto businesses have attempted to secure a DPTSP license from the Monetary Authority of Singapore, but less than 30 have succeeded.
Join us as we discuss the journey to a crypto license in Singapore and beyond. Our panel of experts, who have all walked this journey, will share their reflections on:
- How the licensing process in Singapore has evolved and what lies ahead
- Navigating the license application and regulatory engagements
- Compliance and risk management as a regulated crypto business in Singapore
