Singapore stablecoin framework to enhance adoption and stability

Singapore’s regulatory sandboxes and supportive frameworks continue to foster innovation in digital payments.

The single-currency stablecoin framework pegged to the Singapore dollar or G10 currencies will enhance stability and promote the adoption of stablecoins in financial markets, Linklaters said.

In its report, Linklaters noted this framework is part of Singapore's broader effort to establish a clear and supportive regulatory environment for digital assets.

It also noted the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) is focusing on managing risks associated with AI and Generative AI. Guidelines have been issued to ensure best practices in AI governance, reflecting the increasing scrutiny of AI adoption in financial institutions.

Singapore’s advancements in tokenisation were highlighted through Project Guardian, an initiative exploring asset tokenisation and decentralised finance (DeFi) applications for financial markets.

To address rising concerns over scams, Linklaters pointed to Singapore’s rollout of Singpass Face Verification for customer onboarding and fraud prevention.

Additionally, MAS has introduced a shared responsibility framework to clarify duties for mitigating phishing scams, ensuring enhanced security across the financial ecosystem.

Linklaters emphasized that Singapore’s regulatory sandboxes and supportive frameworks continue to foster innovation in digital payments, fintech solutions, and tokenised markets.

These efforts balance compliance and technological advancements, reinforcing Singapore’s reputation as a leading hub for financial innovation in Asia.
