On October 31, Paxos, a prominent blockchain and tokenization infrastructure provider, launched its new stablecoin, the Global Dollar (USDG), pegged to the U.S. dollar. USDG has been developed under the strict guidelines of the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS).
This regulation requires crypto companies and asset issuers operating in Singapore to be licensed, ensuring both investor protection and anti-money laundering compliance.
