On 28 January 2020, the Payment Services Act (“PS Act”) went live as a key framework that will regulate Cryptocurrency / Digital Payment Tokens (DPT) businesses in Singapore.
The framework which is balanced with enabling innovation, establishing standards and Anti-money Laundering (AML) policies, has been highly anticipated by businesses in the local crypto scene for many years now, and will have a bearing on everyone that is a part of the ecosystem.
