On June 5, the vice president of hosting of a platform issued a document saying that Singapore’s MAS issued the final guidance on the DTSP regulatory framework under the Financial Services and Markets Act (FSMA), which will take effect on June 30, 2025, and non-compliant DTSPs need to stop operating immediately. DTSP refers to institutions that provide token trading, transfer, custody and other services to overseas customers in Singapore, but those who already hold PSA/SFA/FAA licenses or are exempted do not need to apply for new DTSP licenses, and still need to meet new obligations, such as stricter technical risk management, annual audits, and reporting major security incidents within 1 hour. MAS emphasizes shifting from “licensing” to “compliance” and implements hierarchical regulation of stablecoins.
