Crypto platform Gemini clinches in-principle approval in Singapore

Gemini is one step closer to getting a major payment institution license.

Gemini, a crypto asset trading platform, has received in-principle approval (IPA) from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) for its major payment institution (MPI) license.

The IPA meant that Gemini met Singapore’s regulatory standards.

Gemini said that they will continue to work towards achieving the MPI license.

Gemini also said that it will continue to grow its Singapore team. The company recently appointed Saad Ahmed as head of APAC.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
