Coinbase wins MAS approval and expands its Singapore office

  • Coinbase received preliminary MAS approval for a digital payment token license
  • Singapore will become Coinbase's Asia-Pacific headquarters
  • About 200 employees are planned at the Singapore office by the end of 2026
  • Base has processed more than 100 million transactions since its February 2023 launch
Why it matters: The MAS license strengthens Coinbase's position in Asia and legitimizes the rollout of the XSGD stablecoin and business products.
