Bitcoin Businesses to be Regulated in Singapore


According to Bitcoin, Singapore will soon begin to regulate all businesses which accept and use crypto-currency.

Deputy Prime Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam, who is also the chairman of Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), said that the organization lacks the authority to regulate Bitcoin itself. Therefore, it will design regulations for companies providing payment services with the currency.
