Key Aspects of DeFi Regulation in Singapore

Licensing and Compliance

In Singapore, DeFi platforms must seek licenses and comply with the Payment Services Act (PSA) which regulates various types of payment-related activities. This includes obtaining a Major Payment Institution license, a Standard Payment Institution license, or a Money-Changing license, based on the scale and nature of their operations.

Ressos, as a specialist crypto specialist firm in Singapore, assists DeFi platforms in navigating these licensing requirements and ensuring full compliance with the PSA.

Risk Management and Security

Regulatory authorities in Singapore expect DeFi platforms to adopt robust risk management and security measures. This involves performing regular audits, implementing multi-signature wallet systems, and employing advanced encryption techniques for safeguarding user data.

Ressos can guide DeFi platforms in establishing the necessary risk management and security practices, helping them meet the regulatory expectations.

Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing

DeFi platforms are required to comply with the Monetary Authority of Singapore's (MAS) anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorism financing (CTF) regulations. This involves Know Your Customer (KYC) processes, monitoring transactions, and reporting suspicious activities to the authorities.

Ressos offers specialized guidance in AML/CTF compliance, supporting DeFi platforms adhere to the MAS requirements.

Consumer Protection

Consumer protection is a paramount concern for regulators in Singapore. DeFi platforms need to maintain transparency, provide adequate information to users, and address consumer grievances effectively.

As a crypto-focused specialist firm, Ressos helps DeFi platforms in implementing consumer protection measures and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.
