Singapore's Monetary Authority (MAS) proposes stablecoin rules requiring 100% reserve backing and prohibits interest payments, framing stablecoins strictly as payment instruments. Reserves must be held separately with licensed institutions, enhancing regulatory clarity and financial stability.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech, and 2 sources have reported it.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Singapore just closed the door on yield-driven stablecoin competition. If you build or rely on stablecoins there, you must rethink your token economics and compliance immediately.
