Singapore proposes 100% reserve standard for stablecoins – Will issuers adapt?

Singapore’s stablecoin regime could reshape competition by linking regulatory status to reserve quality and market adoption.

  • Singapore proposes strict 100% reserve requirements for licensed stablecoin issuers under the Payment Services Act.
  • The new regulations aim to enhance investor confidence by mandating segregated assets, daily valuations, and timely redemptions.
  • While MAS's regulatory stamp could boost legitimacy, adoption will depend on overcoming the liquidity and network effects of established stablecoins like USDC and USDT.
