The Singapore government is all set to open the first fiat-crypto exchange in the country. The Financial Regulator is ready to help crypto companies set up local bank accounts.

According to the report, over 8,000 people have agreed to join the open public beta launch of Eurekapro’s new fiat-crypto exchange. The report further stated that a Singapore-based exchange would allow easy fiat-to-crypto trading. The exchange aims to make cryptocurrencies easily accessible to businesses and consumers.

Eurekapro offers its own tokens named EKT. The platform aims to provide extended fiat-to-crypto support in Asia. The new crypto exchange will allow users to conduct transactions with some regional fiat currencies. This includes Singapore Dollar, Malaysian Ringgit and Indonesian Rupiah.

Ravi Menon, Managing Director, The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) stated that the authority would help crypto firms open local bank accounts. Singapore is looking forward to adapt cryptocurrencies and make the country a crypto hub.

MAS plans to place different crypto businesses into various categories. The first categories are called “Utility Tokens.” The first category of tokens refers to the use of blockchain technology to facilitate payments. Mr. Menon said that barely any regulation would be required for such activities.

Cryptocurrencies that resemble securities will fall under the oversight of Singapore’s Securities and Futures Act. Mr. Menon further stated that the crypto business is different from the fintech space. According to him, regulator’s primary concern is to discourage money laundering and protect the interests of consumers.

Even in the event that an attacker gains more than 50% of the network's computational power, only transactions sent by the attacker could be reversed or double-spent. The network would not be destroyed.

A well regulated exchange in a trusted financial hub like Singapore will be a great addition and can boost the global crypto market through addition of more trading in south eastern Asia. Any exchange offering fiat to crypto transactions will always perform well because people are wanting to avoid stable coins like the plague.

if I may know, where is the source of the news?


I am from Indonesia, but if in Indonesia Crypto cannot be used as a payment instrument especially dealing with a Bank.
But if for Indonesian exchange the Rupiah is still allowed. Such as Indodax, Tokocrypto, etc.
If Singapore has used the crypto bank account. Maybe other Asian countries will also follow Singapur as is a modern country.

Same here, I would like the source of the news as well. If the news is real, it is a good news that Singapore’s MAS is supporting crypto growth.

I tried to search but couldn’t find this news. The closest I can get is the following but it is nothing close to OP.

I would be very happy if the author of this post writes a link to a news source where he got this information from. In recent years, I often read false information regarding the cryptocurrency market. Many are manipulating this, in the hope of some sort of course reaction.

Sometimes news are not true they just making story to make them trending or something. Some people make news or blog just to create chaos about what cyrpto can do in the society.

       Although this is not the first country in Asia that you can convert your crypto into fiat money but it's still a great news for us as cryptocurrency enthusias since this can attract more investor in crypto because of accessibility in this particular country , so we will be hoping that other neighborhood country will follow .

I like the direction Singapore is developing in. I think that in this country Fintech technologies have a great future. I think this country will be one of the leaders in the cryptocurrency market in the future.
