The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has proposed amendments to the Payment Services Act to create a formal regulatory framework for stablecoins.
The proposed changes aim to strengthen Singapore’s regulatory approach to digital payment tokens while providing greater clarity for stablecoin issuers and service providers. MAS has opened the proposal for public consultation, giving industry participants and stakeholders an opportunity to provide feedback before the framework is finalized.
The consultation will remain open until October 16.
The proposed amendments are designed to establish a structured legal framework governing stablecoin issuance and related payment services.
By formalizing the rules, MAS aims to support innovation while maintaining high standards for consumer protection, financial stability, and operational resilience. Singapore has consistently positioned itself as a leading hub for digital assets through a balanced regulatory approach that encourages responsible innovation.
The latest proposal marks another step in the country’s evolving crypto policy.
