Blockchain-based payments firm Ripple has obtained in-principle regulatory approval from Singapore’s financial regulator to offer digital asset payments and token products in the city-state.
Ripple confirmed the approval from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) in a June 22 statement. The approval will allow its subsidiary, Ripple Markets Asia Pacific, to further scale its On-Demand Liquidity. The ODL helps Ripple’s customers to move XRP around the world without the banks intervening as intermediaries.
