Singapore Reconsiders Rules for Certain Foreign-Issued Stablecoins

Singapore is reviewing whether some stablecoins issued outside the country could be covered by its regulatory framework, according to Cointelegraph. The proposal would include jointly issued cross-border stablecoins, marking a possible change from the earlier approach of limiting the framework to tokens issued domestically. The review could broaden the range of stablecoin structures considered under Singapore’s rules, although the supplied report does not specify which projects or jurisdictions may qualify. No final policy decision or implementation timeline was provided. The development is relevant to the stablecoin market and to digital-asset platforms monitoring regulatory access in Singapore. It may also affect how issuers assess cross-border arrangements if foreign-issued or jointly issued tokens are ultimately recognized under the regime. The report was published on September 1, 2026.
