    SINGAPORE'S crypto players can expect greater regulatory scrutiny this year, but with that should also come more clarity on the space that exchanges and investors can participate in. Crypto licences will be doled out and consolidation will take place, say observers.

    New regulations that take effect this year will grant the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) more teeth in the regulation of digital payment token (DPT) services - which would include crypto exchanges.
