The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) recently <a href=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/news\/crypto-com-completes-its-licensing-process-in-singapore\/\">granted Crypto.com an official major payment institution (MPI) license<\/a> for digital payment token (DPT) services, enabling it to provide its services there even as it shutters its US institutional offering.<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-meta\">\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Share this article<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Categories<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Tags<\/h6>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/news\/crypto-com-suspends-institutional-exchange-services-in-the-us\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : CoinJournal: Latest Bitcoin, Ethereum &amp; Crypto News ) Crypto.com cited limited demand for institutional-grade services.
