SGThe Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has released a consultation paper proposing new regulations for stablecoins, aiming to define which issuers can be regulated and establish safeguards to protect users and maintain token value. The proposed changes under the Payment Services Act would require stablecoins to be issued by MAS-licensed entities and labeled as 'MAS-regulated stablecoins.' Unregulated stablecoins would be classified as digital payment tokens (DPTs), subject to existing consumer protection measures. The framework includes requirements such as maintaining token value, ensuring redemption at face value, and providing transparency to users. MAS is also seeking input on broader issues like cross-border stablecoin issuance and international recognition of foreign stablecoins. The consultation period closes on October 16.
