Regulation in Singapore
The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) regulates crypto through the Payment Services Act (PSA). Exchanges must hold a Major Payment Institution (MPI) license. MAS has taken a strict but clear approach — retail access to crypto trading is tightened, but staking through licensed entities is permitted. Individual DeFi staking is unregulated.
Tax: Singapore has no capital gains tax, making it one of the most tax-friendly jurisdictions for crypto. However, if staking is conducted as a business activity, income tax applies. Personal staking rewards for individual investors are generally not taxed. Seek local tax advice.
