This significant development, achieved through its local subsidiary OKX SG, marks a crucial step for the platform's expansion into the Southeast Asian market.
The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), the country's primary financial regulator, has granted in-principle approval for the MPI licence, allowing OKX to offer digital payment token services and cross-border transfers within Singapore once it receives a full licence.
Emphasizing the importance of Singapore in OKX's global strategy, OKX President Hong Fang emphasized that the country is a center for innovative entrepreneurship.
Fang praised Singapore's clear and rigorous regulatory framework, saying it allows businesses to operate with a long-term perspective and appeal to tech-savvy early adopters.
