The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) issued a consultation paper on 2026-09-01 proposing legislative changes to the Payment Services Act to regulate stablecoin issuers in Singapore. [^1]

The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) published new proposed legislative amendments to the Payment Services Act on September 1, 2026, to establish a regulatory framework for stablecoin issuers. [^2]

MAS proposed that stablecoins not regulated by MAS would be treated as digital payment tokens (DPTs) and subject to the consumer protection safeguards applicable to that asset class. [^3]

Proposed requirements for MAS-regulated stablecoin issuers include maintaining stable value, holding sufficient capital, redeeming tokens at original value upon user request, and providing relevant disclosures. [^4]

Under the proposed MAS Single-Currency Stablecoin framework, only stablecoin issuers licensed by MAS would be allowed to label their tokens as 'MAS-regulated stablecoins'. [^5]

Ho Hern Shin, the authority's deputy managing director for financial supervision, stated that the proposed amendments will give effect to a stablecoin framework that promotes responsible financial innovation. [^6]

The proposed amendments require stablecoin issuers to undergo stress testing and have in place plans for recovery and orderly wind-down. [^7]
