Ripple secures MAS approval to expand payment services under its MPI license in Singapore.

The platform simplifies cross-border payments with DPTs, offering fast and efficient solutions.

Singapore’s clear digital asset regulations help Ripple invest and grow in the Asia Pacific region.

Ripple, a leader in financial technology, has announced that the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has approved an expanded scope of payment activities for its Major Payment Institution (MPI) license. This approval allows Ripple Markets APAC Pte. Ltd., Ripple’s Singapore subsidiary, to improve its regulated payments offerings and provide more value to businesses in Singapore.

With this license, the company has reinforced its role among the small number of blockchain-enabled institutions in the world with an MPI license. The company also remains compliant and transparent and has robust partnerships with regulatory bodies. This broadened operation will enable Ripple to provide additional services with the high regulatory standard required by Singapore.

Monica Long, President of Ripple, said Singapore had a positive attitude toward regulating digital assets. Long stated that “MAS has set a leading standard for regulatory clarity in digital assets, and we deeply value Singapore’s forward-thinking approach.” 

Ripple’s Regulatory Approach Drives Innovation in Singapore

The company has been a regulation-focused entity, and the transparent rules in Singapore demonstrate the effectiveness of innovation within clearly designed frames. The broader license will allow the firm to invest in Singapore even more and enhance infrastructure so that the financial institutions could transfer money more effectively and safely.

Ripple Payments is an integration of digital payment tokens (DPTs) and a payout network worldwide. The platform provides quick, clear, and consistent international payment options. It provides banks, fintechs, and crypto firms with a comprehensive solution to blockchain complexities and operational overhead.

The system provides several advantages. It offers an end-to-end payment solution with DPTs such as RLUSD and XRP. The company allows for quick payment settlements without the burden of infrastructure maintenance. 

Simplifying Payment Flows and Digital Asset Access for Businesses

Furthermore, the company eases the operations by eliminating several scattered partners and deploying a single trustworthy provider. This integration alone manages all the flows of payments, including collection and payout.

The firm also facilitates businesses accessing digital assets. Companies have easy access to DPTs, with the option of either holding them without the need to have extra banking contacts or dedicated infrastructure.

Fiona Murray, the Vice President and Managing Director of the Asia Pacific region with Ripple, emphasized the influence of the region regarding the adoption of digital assets. Asia Pacific is the largest consumer of digital assets, and on-chain activity is expanding by 70% annually. Singapore is the center of that development, said Murray. 

The company has introduced its operations in Singapore as a key to global growth since it formed its headquarters in the Asia Pacific in 2017. MAS is regarded as one of the leading international agencies that develop transparent and enabling regulatory frameworks on digital assets.
