Bitstamp Secures MAS License for Singapore Operations

Bitstamp has obtained a major payment institution license from the Monetary Authority of Singapore, granting it authorization to offer digital payment token services in the nation as of July 2025.

This license bolsters Bitstamp’s presence in Asia-Pacific, offering new opportunities for regional and international institutional clients to engage in secure cryptocurrency transactions.

Bitstamp Secures Key MAS License for Singapore

Bitstamp, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, successfully acquired an MAS license which allows it to legally operate in Singapore. The company’s local team, stationed in Singapore, manages its expansion plans and partner relations.

Bitstamp’s integration with Robinhood enhances its global reach, leveraging expertise to penetrate Singapore’s regulated market. The company’s leadership team, with extensive experience, positions Bitstamp to expand its institutional-grade services.

MAS Approval Expands Bitstamp’s Regional Influence

The MAS license positions Bitstamp to tap into Singapore’s financial infrastructure, granting wider access for institutional clients. This is expected to increase trading volumes and enhance connectivity with U.S., U.K., and EU markets.

Fiat and stablecoin liquidity are anticipated to rise, specifically favoring major cryptocurrencies like BTC and ETH. Analysts indicate that regulatory approvals traditionally result in boosted trading activity and market stability for key asset pairs.

Singapore’s Regulatory Boost Fuels Crypto Market Confidence

Historically, regulatory approvals in Singapore catalyze temporary increases in fiat inflows and trading activity. Past licenses granted to exchanges like OKX reflect a pattern of strengthening market engagement and confidence.

Experts from Kanalcoin suggest Bitstamp’s expanded presence could lead to significant market opportunities through increased liquidity and compliance with Singapore’s robust regulatory standards, boosting investor confidence in cryptocurrencies.
