Singapore's Monetary Authority (MAS) has escalated regulatory scrutiny on digital asset service providers, mandating strict compliance or cessation of overseas operations by June 2025. Unlicensed firms risk fines up to $200,000 and three-year prison terms under the Financial Services and Markets Act.

The policy leaves no transitional grace period, requiring immediate adherence to anti-money laundering standards. Licensed entities under existing financial statutes are exempt, but all others must secure a Digital Token Service Provider license—a MOVE signaling Singapore's tightening grip on crypto's wild west reputation.
