DBS aims to double its investor base in DDEx by end of the year

The DDEx will operate 24/7 to increase trade volume amidst growing client demand.

DBS announced that its brokerage arm, DBS Vickers (DBSV) has received in-principle approval from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), under its Payment Services Act, to provide digital payment token services as a major payment institution.

This makes DBSV one step closer to receiving a license from the MAS, which would then allow the DBS Digital Exchange (DDEx) to directly support asset managers and companies to trade in digital payments through its platform.

“We have seen keen interest among asset managers and corporates for access to digital payment token services, and with DBSV receiving in-principle approval under the PS Act, we are well-placed to meet this growing demand. This could add to DDEx’s volumes in the coming months, and, coupled with DDEx going operational round the clock, help accelerate growth for DDEx. We are confident of doubling our investor base by the end of the year,” said DBS Group Head of Capital Markets Eng-Kwok Seat Moey in a press statement.

Connected to this goal, the DDEx will go 24/7 to increase trade volume amidst growing client demand.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
