On August 15, 2023, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) announced the features of a new regulatory framework that seeks to ensure a high degree of value stability for stablecoins regulated in Singapore. The regulatory framework takes into account feedback received, following an October 2022 public consultation.

The stablecoins issued in Singapore can be pegged only to the Singdollar or any Group of 10 currency, including the United States dollar and Japanese yen, said the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS).

Issuers’ valuation of their reserve assets has to be at least 100 per cent of the outstanding single-currency stablecoins (SCS) in circulation at all times. Reserve assets, to be denominated in the same currency as the peg, must be held in cash, cash equivalents or in three-month Singapore government bonds.
