- Singapore crypto firms must obtain DTSP licenses by June 30, 2025
- International services without license must stop post-deadline
- Industry urged to accelerate compliance and adapt systems
As of June 30, 2025, Singapore-based crypto entities that serve clients overseas must hold a Singapore DTSP license, or they’ll have to halt cross-border operations. This regulatory update underscores Singapore’s push for stronger oversight of crypto activities involving international clients. Firms without the required license by the deadline are expected to withdraw services targeting foreign users.
What Firms Need to Do
Registered entities should begin preparations now:
- Review current cross-border service offerings
- Submit DTSP license applications well before June
- Adjust operations to block international access until licensed
Authorities in Singapore, known for strict AML and compliance frameworks, are reinforcing these expectations. Any non-compliant activity post-deadline may lead to enforcement actions and reputational harm.
Impacts Beyond Licensing
Beyond securing the license, firms must:
- Implement enhanced client due diligence
- Boost AML and CFT systems
- Upgrade reporting mechanisms
- Educate staff on cross-border risk compliance
