MAS Issues Clarification on the Regulatory Regime for Digital Token Service Providers under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2022
On 30 May 2025, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (“MAS”) published its response to feedback on the proposed regulatory approach, regulations, and notices for digital token service providers (“DTSPs”) under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2022 (“FSM Act”). This article provides a summary of the key features of the new regime, MAS’s clarifications, and practical implications for affected entities.
Scope of the DTSP Regime
The DTSP regime applies to individuals, partnerships, or Singapore-incorporated entities that carry on a business of providing digital token (“DT”) services outside Singapore. The regulatory focus is on mitigating money laundering and terrorism financing (“ML/TF”) risks, as well as reputational risks to Singapore, given the cross-border and internet-based nature of such services.

By Leonard Loh
Key Takeaway: The need for an additional step (as required under the Singapore Rules of Court 2021) (“ROC 2021”) before being allowed to introduce expert evidence and the attendant additional costs and risks could reduce the attractiveness of litigation in Singapore in favour of arbitration. All should thus be aware of the additional complexities introduced by ROC 2021, and consider whether litigation under Singapore law remains the best solution in a dispute or if arbitration is the better option.
One of the changes made by ROC 2021 is to introduce court control over a party’s previously unrestricted right to introduce expert evidence. If a litigant wishes to introduce his own expert to give evidence, he has to convince the Court, among other things, that (1) expert evidence will contribute materially to the determination of any issue and (2) that the default rule that parties are to agree on one common expert should be departed.
While this change is welcomed when viewed through the lens of expeditious proceedings and efficient use of court resources (see Order 3, Rule 1(2) of the ROC 2021), it requires lawyers and (potential) litigants to grapple with the additional complexities of litigation in Singapore. This article will discuss a couple of such additional complexities and discuss whether they increase the attractiveness of arbitration, especially in complex disputes where expert evidence is an important, if not integral, part of the process.
