The Monetary Authority Of Singapore released a speech earlier last month on 29 August 2022 regarding the issue of Cryptocurrencies and its focus on making Singapore an innovative and responsible digital asset Ecosystem with good Regulation. The Central bank aims to develop this by inviting key Crypto players to Singapore whilst also maintaining a strict and stringent license process for creating crypto-related services.
The Authority has taken the right steps in reducing harm to consumers as earlier in January they have restricted promotion of cryptocurrency services located in public areas including MRT stations. This action has also led to the dismantling of many "Bitcoin"ATM's located around Singapore.
