SINGAPORE (Bloomberg): Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase Global Inc received a digital-assets licence in Singapore, where regulators are stepping up vigilance after the high-profile blowups of crypto outfits like Three Arrows Capital.
The Monetary Authority of Singapore has granted Coinbase Singapore in-principle approval under the Payment Services Act to provide regulated services in the city-state, the company said Tuesday (Oct 11). About 15 firms have received such permits since Singapore launched the licensing regime in 2019, including rival Crypto.com.
