1 min. readGemini, a crypto exchange, has obtained preliminary approval from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) to offer its services in the country. The approval grants Gemini a Major Payment Institution (MPI) license, enabling the provision of digital payment tokens and cross-border money transfer services. This milestone signifies Singapore's importance in Gemini's Asia-Pacific operations. The exchange is striving for final approval for the MPI license to offer tailored services to Singaporean users.
