\"Singapore<\/p>\n

The shortlisted United States-based firms include Consensys, cLabs Inc., IBM, and Extolabs LLC.<\/p>\n

A cash prize of 50,000 Singapore dollars (about $37,000) complements the Singaporean initiative of building its retail CBDC. An earlier announcement disclosed the MAS mentoring of the 15 finalists.<\/p>\n

Also, the finalists can gain access to the APIX Digital Currency Sandbox that will promote quick prototyping of digital currency solutions.<\/p>\n

The Sandbox ecosystem should contain over 100 APIs that are linked to payments and core banking.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, it will contain Mastercard\u2019s digital fund APIs. The finalists now have an opportunity to promote their CBDC solutions during the Singapore Fintech Festival from November 8th to November 12th, 2021.<\/p>\n

There have been pro-crypto moves from the country\u2019s authorities through the entire 2021. For example, the MAS recently released an \u2018in-principle approval to Independent Reserve, an Australian crypto exchange. The company stands as the first crypto exchange to receive such approval in Singapore.<\/p>\n

The approval will enable the company to run as a regulated Digital Payment Token (DPT) Service provider. Through the approval, Independent Reserve is expected to avail its users the maximum consumer protection. It will also ensure compliance with Anti-Money Laundering rules.<\/p>\n
