I have lived in Singapore for quite a while, and I must say it is in this 'crypto' phase that it is acting really stealthily or should I say, carefully. Usually, Singapore is one of the pioneers in terms of adapting anything that is at par with times in terms of technology vis-a-vis efficiency, reliability, adaptability, among others. But today, haven't you noticed that among the most successful countries in Asia, it is very silent when it comes to cryptocurrencies? With this, I can say they are not buying this because it is something their government did not create or authorize. Singaporeans are known to be obedient when it comes to policies, hence, it is no surprise to not hear any big news about it from them. I now conclude that the Singaporean government is only interested in adapting/utilizing the blockchain technology and totally shrug Bitcoin off their jurisdiction. Otherwise, they could have categorically addressed the issue on cryptocurrencies squarely.
