Daenerys, Singapore’s biggest operator of the machines, ceased its services to comply with the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s (MAS) request, the company said late on 18 January.

“MAS’s new guidelines regarding ATMs were an unexpected surprise,” Daenerys said in a reply to questions from Bloomberg.

Daenerys operates 5 crypto ATM machines in malls around Singapore. Daenerys said it’s keeping the ATMs closed while seeking clarification from the central bank.

Another operator, Deodi, shut down its sole machine on Tuesday, it said on its website.

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.
