The crypto exchange is the 12th to receive a crypto-dealing license in the country allowing it to service accredited investors and institutions.
Crypto exchange Blockchain.com has been granted a payments license from Singapore's central bank — the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS).
Blockchain.com announced on Aug. 7 it received its major payment institution (MPI) from MAS on Aug. 1 allowing it to provide what the regulator calls digital payment token services to institutional and accredited investors.
The exchange's full license comes after it received in-principal approval from the bank in September last year.
