Paxos has secured an in-principle approval (IPA) from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) for Paxos Digital Singapore. This approval marks an expansion of a US dollar stablecoin platform into the Asian market, aligning with MAS’ forthcoming stablecoin <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/singapore-monetary-authority-sets-regulatory-framework-for-g10-pegged-stablecoins/">framework</a>. 
The news comes after <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/singapores-monetary-authority-launches-new-asset-tokenization-pilots-with-project-guardian-expansion/">several new tokenization pilots</a> were released in the region to increase commercial partnerships with global fintech providers. 
With the full approval, Paxos Digital Singapore is set to issue a novel US dollar stablecoin, already recognized for its compliance with the MAS’ proposed stablecoin regulatory framework. Paxos asserts that this development is a significant stride towards democratizing financial services and commerce access, aligning with global prudential standards. 
“Paxos is revolutionizing the realm of stablecoin utility and mainstream adoption,” said Walter Hessert, Paxos’ Head of Strategy. 
<blockquote>
 “With the global demand for the US dollar soaring, our regulated platform will facilitate safe and reliable access to US dollars, fortified by regulatory protections, to users worldwide.”
</blockquote> 
Paxos’ approach, which is deeply entrenched in the principles of transparency and integrity, ensures the issuance of tokens under rigorous regulatory oversight. 
This achievement aligns with Paxos’ mission to establish itself as a globally regulated blockchain platform, adhering to the stringent AML and KYC standards of financial markets like the US and Singapore. In 2022, Paxos emerged as the first US-based blockchain infrastructure platform to <a href="https://cryptoslate.com/circle-paxos-secure-regulatory-approval-from-singapore-financial-watchdog/">receive a license</a> under Singapore’s Payment Services Act 2019 for offering digital payment token services. 
The company’s mission is to forge a more inclusive and accessible financial future. All Paxos stablecoins are backed 1:1 by the US Dollar and cash equivalents, and Paxos issues monthly attestations and reserve reports, reinforcing trust and accountability in its operations.
