<div class="insidebitcoins"> 
 <p>Coinbase shares rose as it said it was granted a new payment license from Singapore that allows it to expand its Digital Payment Token service to institutions and individuals in the island nation.</p> 
 <p>The Monetary Authority of Singapore granted Coinbase a Major Payment Institution (MPI) license one year after the exchange received in-principle approval in October 2022, it said in a blog post published on Oct. 1.</p> 
 <p>“The approval for Coinbase in Singapore sent shares up 5% in pre-market trade,” said Susannah Streeter, head of money and markets at UK financial advisor Hargreaves Lansdown. “Investors see the granting of the full licence as a boost for the exchange in pursuing business with more traditional financial institutions.”</p> 
 <p>The gains were subsequently pared with the stock up 3.5% at $77.73 at 10am ET.</p>

 <p>“From our initial involvement in the Lion City, we’ve identified Singapore as a vital market for Coinbase,” it said. “The nation’s progressive economic strategies and approach to regulation sync well with our global mission and objectives.”</p> 
 <p>Coinbase’s venture capital arm has been investing in Web3 startups in the country for three years In 2022, the exchange established a tech hub in the country, which has since hired multiple engineers and product managers who were working on Web3 solutions.</p> 
 <p>“With 25% of surveyed Singaporeans considering crypto as the future of finance and 32% being either current or past owners of crypto, Singapore has naturally become a significant location for this industry,” the announcement said.</p>
