What the law actually says

Is ASI Alliance trading legal in Singapore?

Spot crypto is legal and licensed: 'digital payment token service' is one of the seven payment services MAS regulates under the Payment Services Act 2019, described by MAS as buying or selling digital payment tokens commonly known as cryptocurrencies, and section 5(1) of that Act provides that a person must not carry on a business of providing any type of payment service in Singapore unless the person holds a licence for it or is an exempt payment service provider. Residents therefore buy and sell on MAS-licensed venues — Coinbase Singapore Pte. Ltd. holds a Major Payment Institution licence for digital payment token service, and Coinhako trades under Payment Services Act licence PS20200556.

What the contract is

A perpetual on FET tracks price and does not confer ownership of the underlying — the same contract mechanics apply in every jurisdiction; what differs by country is legal status and funding rails.

Rails · deposit routes

Rail

Status

Note

PayNow

WORKS

MAS's instant proxy-addressing overlay on FAST, available 24/7; licensed venues like Coinhako and Independent Reserve take it directly.

FAST bank transfer

WORKS

MAS's instant SGD transfer service underneath PayNow, available 24/7; the standard route for larger deposits at licensed venues.

WORKS

Used mainly for USD funding at Independent Reserve; slower and fee-bearing next to the domestic rails.

Credit or charge card

BLOCKED

PS-G03 4.4.1(f) bars DPT providers from accepting credit or charge card payments issued in Singapore, in force since 19 June 2025.

Debit card

LIMITS

The PS-G03 card restriction names only credit and charge cards, so debit cards depend on each venue's own policy, unconfirmed.

LIMITS

Not a common route since instant free bank rails dominate; a counterparty trading at volume falls inside PSA 2019 licensing.

Tax note — Singapore

No capital gains tax and no crypto-specific rate. IRAS states that gains from the sale of property, shares and financial instruments in Singapore are generally not taxable, and that because there are no capital gains taxes in Singapore, gains on digital tokens bought for long-term investment are not subject to tax.
