Singapore Stablecoin Payments Soar to $1B in Quarter 2 Report
Reinout te Brake | 12 Sep 2024 21:59 UTC
Singapore's growing adoption of stablecoin payments has reached a new milestone, with transactions surging to nearly $1 billion in the second quarter. Data from Chainalysis reveals that merchants are leading the charge in utilizing stablecoins for payments, citing efficiency and low costs as key drivers.
Compared to 2023, where only $161 million worth of transactions were recorded, the significant uptick in stablecoin usage in Singapore highlights a shifting landscape towards digital currency adoption.
Jason Tay, Head of Commercial at StraitsX, emphasized the global trend towards digital currency adoption, noting that Singapore is aligning with this movement. In July, StraitsX secured a major payment institution license from MAS, allowing the issuance of stablecoins in compliance with MAS' forthcoming stablecoin regulatory framework.
According to Jason Tay, Singapore has been recognized for its progressive approach to digital assets, balancing innovation with stringent regulations. Emphasizing the importance of a rigorous licensing process to maintain industry integrity, Tay highlighted the extensive due diligence and assessments StraitsX underwent to meet MAS' standards.
Stressing the alignment of regulatory standards with AML measures, Tay affirmed the necessity of comprehensive licensing requirements to uphold Singapore's financial ecosystem's stability and integrity.
