SINGAPORE, June 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Sygnum announces the upcoming expansion of its regulated operations in Singapore following the in-principle approval of its Major Payment Institution Licence (MPIL) application.
- Expanded Singapore offering* includes regulated crypto brokerage service
- Marks latest expansion of Sygnum Singapore's regulated activities following the three-part Capital Markets Licence (CMSL) extension granted in 2022
- Sygnum Singapore further leverages the group's regulated banking infrastructure, product portfolio and digital asset technology expertise
- Strengthens Sygnum's market position as a digital asset service provider in Singapore and South-East Asia
The MPIL will activate the launch of Sygnum Singapore's regulated crypto brokerage service. The platform, featuring a seamless fiat-digital asset gateway and trade execution for a range of cryptocurrencies, offers competitive spreads, deep liquidity and fast trade settlements in addition to live balance updates and quotes and a choice of trading and vault wallets.
All Sygnum clients are assigned a dedicated Relationship Manager to provide personal service and support. It is through these partnerships that clients will be able to conveniently access and benefit from Sygnum's expanded regulated services.
Gerald Goh, Sygnum Co-Founder and CEO Singapore, says "This in-principle approval of our Major Payment Institution Licence by the MAS is a milestone in our strategic growth plans for Sygnum Singapore and South-East Asia. Like Switzerland, Singapore has a progressive, robust regulatory framework that provides investors the clarity and confidence to invest in digital assets - and Future Finance - with complete trust."
The in-principle approval of Sygnum's MPIL application further strengthens Sygnum's position as a leading regulated digital asset service provider in Singapore and across the region. Sygnum Singapore's early mover market position was established in 2019 with its first CMSL. This pioneering reputation was underlined by the three-part CMSL extension granted in 2022 that saw the launch of corporate finance advisory, capital market products and asset and security token custodial services.
*Expanded offering will be available to accredited and institutional investors when all preconditions to granting the MPIL are fulfilled.
