Deep Tide TechFlow News, April 22, According to Caixin, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) released a consultation document on April 17, 2026, proposing to establish more friendly regulatory capital guidelines for crypto assets on permissionless blockchains (public chains) before implementing the Basel new rules on crypto asset capital requirements. The current Basel regulations are considered to be strict in classifying public chain assets, which may hinder innovation in the banking industry. The MAS plans to abandon a one-size-fits-all classification approach, allowing public chain crypto assets that meet a series of principled requirements to be classified as Group 1 crypto assets with lower risk weights and more lenient prudential requirements, thereby achieving regulatory technological neutrality.
