Dante Disparte, Circle’s Chief Strategy Officer and Global Head of Public Policy, said that the latest regulatory approval for the company will allow it to bring innovative use of crypto-supported payment systems, which will further drive economic growth in the digital world economy.
“This enables us to work with all relevant stakeholders and demonstrate the potential of digital currencies, open payment systems, and innovation-forward fintech regulations to drive economic growth and strengthen Singapore’s position as a global hub for digital assets,” Dante said.
It is interesting to note that the MAS agency showed a significant inclination toward the crypto sector since 2021 and granted regulatory approvals to many crypto companies. All the efforts of the MAS agency showed that Singapore is ready to become a global hub of digital innovations but under a precise & tight regulatory policy.
In the last month, USDC faced a 5% downfall in market dominance because of the new decision of the Binance exchange. In the recent month, Binance swapped all the major stablecoins on its platform into Binance stablecoin coin (BUSD). The decision of the Binance exchange increased the dominance of BUSD stablecoin by 5%.
