Ripple obtains MPI license in Singapore

Singapore is one of Ripple’s fastest growing markets, it said.

Blockchain and crypto solutions provider Ripple has clinched a major payments institution (MPI) license from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS).

With this, Ripple will be able to offer regulated digital payment tokens (DPTs) services in the Lion City.

Today, over 90% of Ripple’s business is outside of the US, and Singapore – and to a larger degree Asia Pacific – is one of its fastest growing regions.

Ripple said that it will continue to prioritise the Asia Pacific region for adoption of its crypto-enabled payments solutions.

Ripple said that it will continue its engagement with the MAS with key executives speaking at the Elevandi Insights Forum and the Singapore Fintech Festival from 14 to 17 November 2023.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
