Singapore has always been perceived as a hotbed for cryptocurrency startups.

Though the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has not made any conclusive policy yet on the matter, the government plans to conclude its cryptocurrency trial (“Project Ubin”) in 2018, according to a CNBC report. Local banks such as UOB, DBS, and OCBC are participating in the development of the proof-of-concept for the trial.
The country already has cryptocurrency exchanges running, such as Coinhako and FYB-SG.
