Singapura Hentikan Layanan Binance.com | OBROLANBISNIS.com — Platform pertukaran uang kripto Binance.com dilarang beroperasi di Singapura. Dengan alasan melanggar Undang-Undang Layanan Pembayaran karena menyediakan layanan tanpa lisensi sesuai. Binance tidak mengajukan lisensi sesuai aturan yang berlaku.
Juru Bicara Bank Sentral Singapura, Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) menyebutkan, meski begitu, Binance Asia Services, entitas yang mengoperasikan platform cryptocurrency Binance.sg, telah mengajukan aplikasi lisensi di bawah Undang-Undang Layanan Pembayaran.
Lisensi Binance Asia Services masih dalam peninjauan, dengan syarat dapat memenuhi persyaratan di bawah Undang-Undang Layanan Keuangan.
Undang-Undang Layanan Keuangan Singapura mengatur tujuh layanan pembayaran utama. Yakni, penerbitan kartu, transfer uang domestik, transfer uang lintas batas, akuisisi pedagang, penerbitan uang elektronik, layanan token pembayaran digital, dan pertukaran uang.
Layanan token pembayaran digital mencakup pembelian atau penjualan token digital, atau menyediakan platform untuk memungkinkan orang menukar token digital mereka di Singapura.
Binance.com mengatakan pihaknya telah mengetahui pemberitahuan dari MAS dan akan bekerja dengan otoritas untuk mengatasi kekhawatiran tersebut melalui dialog konstruktif.
