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.
The contract itself does not change by geography: a TRUMP perpetual settles in USDC everywhere.
