According to the announcement by SBI Digital, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has awarded it a Capital Markets Services (CMS) license. The CMS license follows an initial In-Principle approval it got back in May 2022.
With the nod from the regulator, SBI can now offer capital market products, custodial services, and corporate finance advisory services for the Singaporean market. It is also planning to launch a digital asset securities platform.
According to its CEO Fernando Luis Vazquez, the approval will play a major part in its mission to “transform capital markets and banking value chains through the deployment of digital technology”.
Meanwhile, SBI Holding announced that its Russian Siberian crypto mining operation will stop last month. This decision was made in part due to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and also the decline in the profitability of crypto mining due to the prolonged market downturn.
